Demetrio e Polibio (Rossini Opera Festival)

Rossini's very first opera, written when he was a teenager, was premiered i
Rome in 1812 and revived at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro in 2010.
Young stage director Davide Livermore, heading a production of the
Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino, turns the libretto into a ghost story,
setting the action at night, behind the stage of an opera house. Thanks to
various "phantasmagorical" tricks, Livermore creates an enchanting
atmosphere that is musically rendered by the Orchestra Sinfonica Rossini
under Corrado Rovaris. Each giving outstanding performances are the four
young soloists Maria José Moreno, Victoria Zaytseva, Yijie Shi and Mirco
Palazzi, "stars of the highest international order" (Süddeutsche Zeitung).
