Mercadante’s Il proscritto

London

United Kingdom

Join us on Zoom for the launch of Opera Rara’s latest recording, Mercadante’s Il proscritto. Opera Rara’s Artistic Director is joined by members of the cast on the eve of the recording’s worldwide release. Enjoy a first listen to selections of the recording, the first ever recording of this once-thought-lost opera, and hear about the process of bringing this opera back to life after nearly 200 years since it was last heard.

Set near Edinburgh in the first half of the 17th century, Il proscritto (1848) weaves a tragic tale of lost love and political treachery during the rule of Oliver Cromwell. Available for the first time on recording, Il proscritto marks Mercadante’s return to the bel canto lyricism while retaining the harmonic and orchestra richness found in his “reform” operas.

Join the cast of Mercadante's Il proscritto - 28 June - Barbican Hall

Opera Rara Artistic Director and internationally acknowledged 19th-century opera specialist Carlo Rizzi joins Britten Sinfonia and an exceptional cast in a revival of Mercadante’s Il proscritto.

This will be the first performance of one of Mercadante’s most daring and innovative scores since its Naples premiere in 1842. Restored from its original manuscript, Il proscritto weaves a tragic tale of lost love and political treachery during the rule of Oliver Cromwell.

In over 50 years of operatic archeology, Opera Rara’s mission has been to rediscover and restore neglected works of the highest quality, giving them new life through studio recordings and live performance. This concert will present Opera Rara’s 46th restoration of a forgotten work from opera’s glorious past.
