"Otello" in a production of the Slovak National Theatre Stage Director: Josef Průdek, Stage Design: Milan Ferenůík • Foto: Alena Klenková Setting the Stage Opera and Operetta With its synthesis of sight and sound in splendid variety, opera has every right to its claim as one of the highest art forms. This catalogue opens the door onto four centuries of superb musical stage works. Trading off a panoply of emotions and supported by musical craftsmanship of the highest order, they have entertained people at every level of society since the genre was first conceived – from kings to commoners, from opera seria to Singspiel. Beginning with the works of early Italian practitioners such as Cavalli and Monteverdi and progressing to contemporary works by John Adams and Laurent Petitgirard, this catalogue offers gems from every stage in the history of opera and operetta. The major composers of national traditions are generously represented, including Rossini, Verdi and Puccini from Italy; Mozart, Gluck and Wagner from Germany; Lully, Massenet and Debussy from France. But you will also find highly attractive works by lesser-known composers that will both surprise, entertain and repeatedly delight you. Whether you are in the mood for an easy-listening collection of arias or the sustained engagement of a complete music drama, you will find plenty to mull over in the following pages. From Alban Berg's Wozzeck to Johann Strauss II's Die Fledermaus, we invite you to make your choice and take your seat! © Studio UV Gianfranco Rota Bergamo Musica Festival Gaetano Donizetti (2007): Enrico Giuseppe Iori, Roberto De Biasio, and Dimitra Theodossiou (G.
