One of the very few contemporary operas being staged in Italy,
Mosca's work incorporates Shakespearean tragedies and comedies set
in the Veneto, namely 'Othello', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'The Merchant
of Venice' and 'Two Gentlemen of Verona'. Shakespeare himself
appears as a character in the opera, along with characters from
Goldini's plays and Mozart's Despina. This recording, commissioned
by the Teatro La Fenice, celebrates the 300th anniversary of
Venetian playwright and librettist Carlo Goldini. Pierluigi
Melega's libretto is written in English, a language which offers
greater opportunity for plays on words and whose rhythmic nature
better suits Mosca's music.
