Review of La Serva padrona

Beautiful review written by Dr. Francesco Lora on Il Corriere musicale (in Italian) about the premiere of Paisiello-Respighi’s La Serva padrona.

Here is an English translation of the excerpt.

World premiere in Bologna of the intermezzi made by Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes. The musical reading of the young conductor Elia Corazza was outstanding.

[…]

Thanks to his enthusiasm on the project, to his work on every stage of the production, to his critical knowledge of the repertoire and to his demonstrated conducting talent, the young conductor premiered  Paisiello-Respighi’s chamber opera giving an outstanding musical reading: the Orchestra of the Teatro Comunale was committed as ever before, with an urging narrative rhythm and the music put in evidence in its shining and energetic liveliness.
