IL MATRIMONIO INASPETTATO

Running time: 1 hour and 38 minutes
Language: Italian
Subtitles: English, French, German

Il matrimonio inaspettato by Giovanni Paisiello is a real treasure of the Neapolitan musical panorama from the XVIII Century, brought back to life thanks to Riccardo Muti’s will and commitment: he  conducted it in Salzburg, where he found a triumphant welcome. Paisiello’s work is part of the project aiming to restore the XVIII Century Neapolitan Musical School involving the Salzburg Whitsun Festival, Ravenna Festival and the Opéra de Paris. Light opera but “full of freshness and humor”, as Riccardo Muti underlines, Il matrimonio inaspettato contains orchestral refinements and melancholic passages, whilst based on a playful plot.
