Chris Merritt, great voice and icon of the Rossini revival, divides the evening's program between bel canto pearls by Italian composers such as Per la Gloria d'adorarvi from Griselda by Giovanni Battista Bononcini and Che fiero costume from Eteocle e Polinice by Giovanni Legrenzi, and then ends the second part with a crescendo of arias by Gioachino Rossini, from La Promise a Nizza , from the Canzonetta to La Danza ( Tarantella Napolitana ).
