The Gallery Players of Niagara present
Opera in Concert: "Folly In Love"
Sunday 3 June at 2pm, Cairns Recital Hall
By Alessandro Scarlatti. Directed by Bud Roach.
Mistaken identity, sibling rivalry, and love at first sight - these comic themes drive the eighteen-year-old Alessandro Scarlatti's first opera, premiered in Rome, 1679. Despite papal decree against such scandals as women on stage, and a ban on the church's employment of theatre musicians, the public couldn't resist the charms of this new, youthful voice of opera. "Gli equivoci nel sembiante," an intimate comedy for four singers and orchestra, became a hit that toured throughout the regions of Italy for decades.
