Bianca and Falliero

Approved

Her father's political and financial interests threaten their love. Bianca is mercilessly used as a hostage in the family feud. Falliero, the victorious defender of the state, returns from the war just as Bianca is about to be forced into a marriage with Capellio. The conflicts are inevitable, Bianca's ordeal between fatherly love as the original bond and the promised devotion to the beloved gave Rossini the opportunity to expand his vocal and orchestral means of expression. Not least because of the high vocal demands, the opera was not able to establish itself during the composer's lifetime. It was only in 1986 that the work was rediscovered and revealed its extraordinary qualities." Bianca is mercilessly used as a hostage in the family feud.
