About the event
Vivaldi's operas for the theater conceal musical and dramatic structures that were innovative for the time in which they were written. Consider the notable presence of female singers in his casts, especially in the leading roles, including the male ones, while the castrati were entrusted with the most spectacular arias, albeit linked to specific moments in the story. The orchestral rendering also makes extensive use of innovative solutions, including instrumental colors, figurations, and novel harmonic choices. This program aims to complement this reading with a listening experience of some of the most beautiful solo concertos for various instruments, suggesting them as models of inspiration for the theater imagined by the Red Priest.
