Born from the full artistic maturity of Antonio Vivaldi, the Serenata RV 690 is a page still little known to the general public and at the same time rich in enigmas for scholars.
On stage is the story of the unhappy love between the nymph Eurilla and the shepherd Alcindo who, cynical towards the feeling of love, firmly rejects her. With the cunning and complicity of her friend Nice, Eurilla pushes Alcindo to discover the true nature of the feeling that binds him to her; but at the very moment the young man decides to come out and declare his love, Eurilla’s trap is revealed: indignant at what she believes to be yet another lie, she gathers nymphs and shepherds to punish Alcindo’s arrogant pride.

MUNICIPAL THEATER OF FERRARA
Considered one of the most beautiful examples of Italian-style theatre, the Municipal Theatre of Ferrara was built between 1773 and 1797, designed by Antonio Foschini and Cosimo Morelli, and inaugurated in 1798 with the opera Gli Orazi e i Curiazi by Marco Portogallo. It is located on Corso Martiri della Libertà, in the historic center just a few meters from the Estense Castle. On March 21, 2014, the theatre was dedicated to the memory of Claudio Abbado, founder of Ferrara Musica and a key figure in the city of Ferrara for 25 years with memorable operas and concerts.
