Opera plays legendary works of performing arts in
full lenght. Mainly works which rarely performed. Hundreds
of great composers of their time are forgotten today.
Discover with us operas and oratorios that have written
stage history.
Stage works of more than 300
composers are inside our archives. Early baroque compositions
of Francesco Cavalli and Claudio Monteverdi. Masterpieces
of the Neapolitan school like 'Artaserse' of Domènec
Terradellas or 'Achille in Sciro' of Domenico Sarro. Rhythmic
compositions of Giovanni Pacini, one of the rivals of
Bellini and Donizetti. Giacomo Meyerbeer, the master of
the french grand opera. Antônio Carlos Gomes, the
most important romantic composer of Brazil. Famous representatives
of verismo like Giacomo Puccini, Pietro Mascagni and Ruggero
Leoncavallo. We play also 20th-century classical music
of Igor Stravinsky, John Adams, Nancy Van de Vate or Aulis
Sallinen.
The rightsclearing, physical preservation, cleaning and
digitizing of our historical records collection is very
expensive and time consuming. Please help us with a donation.
