We are proud to announce the unique quest on the field of Baroque music. Complete arias of the opera SEMIRAMIDE RICONOSCIUTA, attributed to all SIX characters appearing in the libretto, comprised from the scores of SIX composers, will be performed and recorded by ONE singer: Polish countertenor JAKUB BURZYŃSKI.
Each of six solo parts in the opera were taken from different score, written by Christoph Willibald Gluck, Leonardo Vinci, Nicola Porpora, Niccolo Jommelli, Johann Adolph Hasse and Baldassare Galuppi. Thanks to this, each of them are originally composed for alto register and can be performed by one singer.
Nobody else did anything similar in the history of baroque opera performance. Support us to make this achievement successful, help us to make our dream real! Donate the one-man opera.
