ROSSINI: Ciro in Babilonia
|
|
A story of love, marital fidelity, the defeat of a tyrant (the Babylonian King Belshazzar)
and the triumph of the good, Rossini’s Ciro in Babilonia is a bold fusion of biblical and
secular subjects set to brilliant, thrilling music. Although intended to be staged during
Lent, Ciro includes all the time-honoured ingredients of serious opera such as the test of
love, military scenes, the help of a turncoat, disguise, prison scenes, a funeral march and a sudden happy ending.
