Spontini, La fuga in maschera

Spontini, La fuga in maschera

This early work of Gaspare Spontini, a composer once known for his grand operas written for the courts of Napoleon, Berlin, Vienna etc., is found at an antiquarian book dealer in England in 2006 and performed for the first time since 1800 at Festival Pergolesi e Spontini in Jesi. Corrado Rovaris and I Virtuosi Italiani, known for their historically informed performances on non-historical instruments, play "with great verve and joy" (Milano Finanza). Director Leo Muscato "transforms the typical Neapolitanstyle musical comedy into a shrill, irreverent, over-the-top spectacle" (Corriere della sera).
