LA TRAVIATA, Giuseppe Verdi (version concert)
Victim of a failing distribution, the work encountered, during its creation, the misunderstanding of the public, baffled by a romantic drama intimate, deprived of the traditional heroic distance and served by an unusual musical realism. But, recognised at its fair value from the following representations, La Traviata became in the twentieth century one of the most performed works in operas around the world.

FEDORA, Umberto Giordano
In 1889, Umberto Giordano saw Sardou's play Fédora at the Teatro Bellini di Napoli, with Sarah Bernhardt in the title role. He immediately asked Sardou for permission to base an opera on the play, and Sardou initially refused because, at the time, Giordano was a relatively unknown composer.

Archibaldo, the blind king, conquered the kingdom of Altura forty years before the opera begins. After forty years, the Alturan people openly object to the reign of the Germanic Archibaldo. Archibaldo recounts his memories of the thrill of conquest, and his reminiscence equates the invasion of Italy to the winning of a beautiful woman.

IL TURCO IN ITALIA, Gioachino Rossini
An opera buffa, it was influenced by Mozart's Così fan tutte, which was performed at the same theatre shortly before Rossini's work. The strangely harmonized overture, though infrequently recorded, is one of the best examples of Rossini's characteristic style.

It was Gutiérrez's most successful play, one which Verdi scholar Julian Budden describes as "a high flown, sprawling melodrama flamboyantly defiant of the Aristotelian unities, packed with all manner of fantastic and bizarre incident.”
