ROMA TRAVESTITA

With the concert Roma Travestita the sopranista Bruno de Sá will make us listen to a repertoire that matches the historical period when women weren't allowed to perform in Theatres in Rome and men performed women's opera roles. The concert sees the precious presence of Il Pomo d’Oro orchestra conducted by Francesco Corti and the program sees the execution of Arias from Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Galuppi, Corelli, Porpora and Piccinni operas and of less known authors as well as Bononcini, Arena, Hasse.
