The programme is devoted to the legendary castrato Farinelli and to the extraordinary repertoire connected with his career. Brilliant virtuosity, dramatic intensity and lyrical refinement come together in music written for one of the most celebrated singers of the 18th century.

Franco Fagioli’s distinctive vocal artistry meets the vivid, flexible sound of Gabetta Consort in a programme that moves between spectacular display and moments of great intimacy, bringing the theatrical world of Baroque opera vividly to life.
