Adriano in Syria: Teatro Comunale Pergolesi (Ottavio Dantone) (2010)

For the festivities marking the Pergolesis tercentenary in his native Jesi, Ignacio García created a new staging of the imperial drama Adriano in Siria. His staging in Jesis exquisite 18th-century Teatro Comunale Pergolesi includes the delightful comic intermezzo Livietta e Tracollo, thus following the precedent set at the premiere in 1734. A fine Italian cast and the distinguished Accademia Bizantina are led by the Accademias director, Ottavio Dantone.
