A red-hot opera thriller about Huguenots and Catholics as an outcry against human brutalization in times of progressive political and religious radicalization.
For the first time in the world in over 180 years, this rarity is being staged again by I virtuosi ambulanti in its original version: a bel canto feast with a wealth of musical gems.
Hanau's New Town was built from 1597 by Walloon and Dutch religious refugees. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Huguenots also settled in the Rhine-Main region.
Carlo Coccia (music), Felice Romani (lyrics)
After Alexandre Dumas
