Leonardo Vinci

We’re going for Baroque again on this week’s Sunday Opera (5/3 3:00 p.m.) with a forgotten opera that is finally getting some much deserved recognition: Leonard Vinci’s “Artaserse,” an opera that premiered in Rome in 1730.

This week's opera is the long forgotten comedy by Leonardo Vinci, "Li zite 'ngalera" or "The Newlyweds in the Galley" from La Scala. This comedy features abandonment, pursuit, disguises, and a happy ending.
