Pietro Spagnoli - Donizetti: Chiara e Serafina - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Chiara e Serafina was the young Donizetti's first opera composed for La Scala in 1822. A tardy librettist and an incoherent plot resulted in the premiere being a fiasco but Donizetti's music is characterful with delightful duets, trios and ensembles. This 200th anniversary live recording from the 2022 Donizetti Opera Festival in Bergamo is performed on period instruments and conducted by Sesto Quatrini. Album Tracks 10. Chiara e Serafina~Act I.
