LA LIRA DI ORFEO
Opera revival world première in the version “per Senesino” (ms. Egerton 2953)
The dramatic cantata was adapted regularly in the years following its 1708 premiere, written by the young Handel in Naples. This new production by Gianmaria Aliverta represents the first performance in modern times of the version written for the famous castrato singer Senesino Francesco Bernardi in the reconstruction and critical edition by Fabrizio Longo, Raffaele Pé and Luca Guglielmi, who conducts the baroque ensemble La Lira di Orfeo from the harpsichord.

LIVE RECORDING FROM
TEATRO MUNICIPALE DI PIACENZA
The first stone of the building was set by Mr. Moreau de Saint-Méry, Duchy’s general administrator on behalf of France, and it was inaugurated in 1804 during a popular feast with fireworks and a horse fair. The project of the Municipal Theatre came from an idea of the architect Lotario Tomba, and it took shape through the joint action of some noble families in Piacenza who united in a group in 1803. The façade, retouched in 1830 by Alessandro Sanquirico – scenographer and architect who worked at La Scala in Milan, and also on the decorations inside the Municipal Theatre – recalls the more famous model by Piermarini for La Scala.
