1h 33m
The Rossini Opera Festival 2020 brings a delightful new production of Rossini’s early work La cambiale di matrimonio (The Marriage Contract) to the stage. Particularly noteworthy is the excellent young cast, mainly singers from the Pesaro-based Accademia Rossiniana. Written in 1810, Rossini’s one-act farce, for six soloists and small orchestra, concerns the usual nonsense of a young woman in love with a poor man. Her father wants her to marry a rich foreigner - for his own gain - but the plot is thwarted by the conniving servants and the young couple themselves. “A truly outstanding ensemble” (Das Opernglas).
Composer: Gioachino Rossini
Conductor: Dmitry Korchak
Venue: Rossini Opera Festival
Orchestra: Orchestra Sinfonica G. Rossini
Artists: Carlo Lepore, Giuliana Gianfaldoni, Davide Giusti
