Antonino FoglianiAbout
Based on a tragedy by Friedrich Schiller, the powerfully dramatic plot of La sposa di Messina deals with the inescapable and, in this case, destructive nature of destiny. Vaccaj’s own 1839 première was dogged by bad luck, and the subject proved too controversial for Venetian audiences, despite its numerous superb set pieces. After one complete and one partial performance, it was not staged again until the 2009 revival heard on this live recording.
A composer of fifteen operas, Nicola Vaccaj is now virtually forgotten as a composer, though La sposa di Messina could have been “from the pen of the young Verdi or Donizetti” according to the Belgian Opera Gazet review of this festival concert performance.
This unique revival and première recording has a very strong cast and the performance is in the trusted hands of opera specialist Antonino Fogliani whose many conducting engagements have taken him to leading international opera houses and concert halls.
