Photo Journal: Mercadante's Orazi e Curiazi in St. Paul
The Minnesota Opera gave the American premiere of Saverio Mercadante's 1846 opera Orazi e Curiazi on April 8.
The rarely produced opera, based on Corneille's play Les Horaces, tells the story of a violent feud between two noble Roman families. The libretto is by Salvadore Cammarano, who collaborated with Donizetti on Lucia di Lammermoor and with Verdi on Luisa Miller and Il trovatore.
