| Concert Title: | |
The Opera Project - Pietro von Abano |
| ||
| Programme : | | Louis Spohr |
| 1: | | Pietro von Abano |
| ||
| ||
| Note: | |
First British performance of Spohr’s opera Pietro von Abano. The School of Music in collaboration with the School of Performance and Cultural Industries will stage two performances of the opera as part of the Opera North- University of Leeds Partnership. This production will also commemorate the 150th anniversary of Spohr’s death. The opera, composed in 1827, was highly controversial. Fellow musicians and composers (including Meyerbeer), considered it a musical and dramatic masterpiece, but the risqué nature of the plot offended early 19th-century sensibilities and prevented it from being performed more widely. |
