Join us on Zoom for the launch of Opera Rara’s latest recording, Donizetti’s L’esule di Roma. Opera Rara’s Artistic Director Carlo Rizzi is joined Roger Parker, editor of the new critical edition of the score, and by members of the cast on the eve of the recording’s worldwide release.

Enjoy a first listen to selections of the recording of this neglected bel canto opera. This will be followed by the pre-release on Opera Rara’s YouTube channel. Celebrating the 225th anniversary of Gaetano Donizetti’s birth, Opera Rara restored an opera which is considered a milestone in the composer’s illustrious career. L’esule di Roma is filled with political conspiracy, romantic intrigue and great sacrifice set in Imperial Rome. Vocal fireworks fly in this opera from 1828 with remarkable ensembles, touching arias, and one of the composer’s finest bass-baritone roles.
