Info for Vinci: Siroe, re di Persia

Sensationelle Weltersteinspielung: Nach dem gewichtigen Libretto von Metastasio (der sein eigenes Werk als »brillant« bezeichnete) setzte der neapolitanische Opernkomponist Leonardo Vinci Siroe Re di Persia als erster Komponist um. Das Dramma per musica wurde 1726 in Venedig uraufgeführt und feierte immense Erfolge. Infolge wurde das Libretto von illustren Kollegen wie Vivaldi, Händel, Hasse und Galuppi ebenfalls vertont, insgesamt 35 Mal. Die Handlung dreht sich dabei um die Thronfolge am Hofe Cosroe I. von Persien, der seinen jüngeren Sohn Medarse bevorzugt und seinen Erstgeborenen Siroe übergehen möchte. In einer Geschichte voller Leidenschaft, Verstrickungen, Verrat, väterlicher Liebe und kindlicher Ehrlichkeit, erhält der Erstgeborene Siroe am Ende seinen rechtmäßigen Platz als neuer König. Der Dirigent Antonio Florio, Experte für das neapolitanische Barockrepertoire, hat für die konzertante Aufführung im Jahr 2018 am Teatro San Carlo von Neapel die Partitur bearbeitet und mit einem Ensemble aus spezialisierten Barocksängern, darunter Carlo Allemano, Roberta Invernizzi und Cristina Alunno der Vergessenheit entrissen.
