 Rating:  - Alessandro Corbelli strikes again! Six stars for his performance!!!Too late did I realize that this opera was baroque...which I really don't care for. I find the music monotonous! And, I would not normally review a baroque opera for that reason. Let those who enjoy and appreciate it influence the rest. BUT, I have to comment on the wonderful performance of Alessandro Corbelli as Marcaniello. I love this guy!!! He deserves an academy award for his singing and acting.

After all, a baroque opera of supposedly delicious comic frotheries... conducted by Riccardo Muti... I was sure that watching this opera would be a delight. Admittedly, I'd not heard the opera previously, so had no idea about whether the work itself was great, but as I'm a baroque opera lover, I expected to be enthralled and pleased. The sets were fine. The costumes were fine. I supposed ... Read More Rating:  - Perhaps the 1st Ever Opera Buffa, Revived after 200 YearsGiovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) suffered both in life and in death. He died at the tender age of 26, and after his death the popularity of his second opera buffa (a form many believe he invented) led to wholesale publication of spurious works under his name which he, of course, could do nothing about. Then for almost two centuries these false works kept coming to light and it was said at one point that only one of his 'true' operatic works survived him, the one that made him famous, 'La Serva Padrona.' ...
