The recital featured rare songs by Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, Gounod and Viardot
Today's Video of the Day is a restream from Opera Rara. This recital was recorded a year ago at the Wigmore Hall and marked Opera Rara’s first live stream ever. Ermonela Jaho, who is Opera Rara’s Artist Ambassador, was accompanied by Opera Rara’s Artistic Director Carlo Rizzi on the piano performing rare songs by Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, Gounod and Viardot. Also featured as part of the recital was Carlo’s brother, violinist Marco Rizzi.
Many of the Donizetti songs heard that evening will feature as part of Volumes 5 and 6 of Opera Rara’s Donizetti Songs recording cycle (Ermonela Jaho/Carlo Rizzi) released this September as part of the charity’s 55th season.
