About

Rossini’s semi-serio operas are the most difficult to define and least studied by critics. It is perhaps for this reason that they are rarely performed or recorded. Torvaldo merits greater attention than has been previously paid to it - the rich orchestration, preludes of infallible expression and recitative passage of extraordinary clarity deem this an opera of considerable interest.

Torvaldo e Dorliska is a revolutionary drama that echoes both Beethoven's Fidelio and Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. Torvaldo and Dorliska, happily married, are flung into prison by the local Duke when Dorliska rejects his attentions, an event that triggers a peasants' uprising which leads to their eventual release.

This is a world première production on DVD.
