Vivaldi’s L’Olimpiade
OLD PARTNERS, NEW PARTNERS, AND A HAPPY ENDING
Four young people, one an Olympic champion.
Tangled relationships.
Forbidden love, twice over.
An unsuccessful assassination.
An execution avoided.
And a royal father who has to accept his children as they are.
INO continues its award-winning exploration of Vivaldi’s operas with the work which started the 20th-century revival of the composer’s works for the stage.
L’Olimpiade brims with opportunities for all seven characters, showing their personalities and feelings through arias that range from the explosive and almost instrumentally virtuosic, to the slow exploration of more tender thoughts.
Running time 3 hours with interval.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
Join the conversation online with #INOOlipmiade
