Opera St. Moritz and Basel with Rossini find
Rossini's opera buffa "La Gazzetta" will have its Swiss premiere this summer in St. Moritz.
The reason for the delay: a dramaturgically important and musically rich quintet in the first act of the opera La Gazzettabetween the Barbiere di Siviglia and La Cenerentola based on a model by Goldoni, was long considered lost. Two years ago, it was found again in Palermo. After an initial production in Boston in April 2013, the Swiss premiere of the original version will follow in St. Moritz in June 2014 and in Basel in August under the direction of Eva Buchmann (director) and Jan Willem de Vriend (conductor).
