Remigio/La Lira Di Orfeo - Alessandro Scarlatti: Griselda

Alessandro Scarlatti is one of the key figures of Italian Baroque opera and the influential Neapolitan school in particular. Griselda is the last of Scarlatti�s operas to have survived intact to the present day. Its narrative is set in motion by the marriage of the King of Sicily to a poor shepherdess; the ensuing complications of love and the tensions between country and court delivering an entertainment full of lyrical charm and lively action. Performed by a superb team of Baroque specialists and acclaimed singers, this production is set in Puglia�s magnificent Palazzo Ducale and celebrates the 300th anniversary of Griselda�s pr�miere.
