About this product
Rossini wrote L'equivoco stravagante ('The Curious Misunderstanding'), his first full-length opera, when he was only 19 years old. As it's title suggests, the plot of this dramma giocoso offers a panoply of absurdist stagecraft with one character being led to believe that the work's heroine is in fact a castrato trying to avoid military service. Full of his trademark buffo humor, melodious and musically buoyant, the opera ran foul of the censors and was swiftly banned, which accounts for it's rarity in performances and recordings. The new edition of the score used in this production corrects numerous previous errors.

Emilio Sagi's colorful 1970s-inspired production of Rossini's 'L'Equivoco Stravagante' is performed by Marco Vinco, Marina Prudenskja and Bruno de Simone with the Orchestra Haydn of Bolzano e Trento conducted by Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli. L'equivoco stravagante was written on 1811 and its Rossini's first two-act comic opera, the only one written for a theatre in Bologna (his adoptive home after he abandoned Pesaro). A truly peculiar opera; not so much in its music but with the text written by Gaetano Gasbarri which led the work being ostracized from theaters for nearly two centuries. Directed by Emilio Sagi, Davide Mancini. Starring Bruno de Simone, Carmen Santoro, Paolo Pucci. Language Italian
