A showpiece for WNO under the baton of Carlo Rizzi, this promises to be a real event as he conducts two rare Rossini cantatas.

This is your chance to hear some operatic rarieties  from Rossini's unparalleled work -  seldom performed in the UK. Rossini is one of opera's most prolific composers - and is as popular in concert halls as opera houses.

Approximate duration 2 hours.

The programme includes:

Le Nozze di Teti e Peleo

Le Muse in morte di Lord Byron

Il pianto d'Armonia sulla morte di Orfeo
