Rossini fans will recognise the overture to Aureliano, which he recycled in three other scores, most notably 'Il barbiere di Siviglia'!
The opera is set in 272 AD in the ancient city of Palmyra (in modern Syria), where the queen, Zenobia (Catriona Smith), and her lover the Persian general Arsace (Silvia Tro Santafé), are defeated in battle by the Roman Emperor Aureliano (Kenneth Tarver). Aureliano agrees to free Arsace if Zenobia will give herself to him, but she refuses. Eventually he is won over by the lovers’ devotion, and frees them when they pledge loyalty to Rome
A great success in its day, Aureliano promises to thrill another generation of listeners in this new studio recording under Maurizio Benini.
The 3CD set, a studio recording, comes with a lavishly illustrated book, including a complete libretto with an English translation by Jeremy Commons with article and synopsis by Richard Osborne.
