In demand across the world, Ermonela Jaho is best known for her portrayals of Verdi and Puccini’s heroines. She returns to her bel canto roots in a recital of rare songs by Gaetano Donizetti, alongside a selection by his contemporaries, with Opera Rara’s Artistic Director and pianist Carlo Rizzi. Jaho and Rizzi will explore repertoire that has been recently restored and rarely, if ever, performed. This recital is a part of the multi-year Donizetti Song Project, which will see Opera Rara record and perform the composer’s entire solo song output – nearly 200 in total, of which many have never been heard before.

Promoted by Opera Rara.
