Opera Arias From 18th Century Gorizia Salons

The Gorizia archives hold many manuscripts of Italian opera arias from the mid-18th century. The pieces came to Gorizia after opera productions in Graz or Venice, and were performed in the local salons by chamber ensembles with three or four strings and a harpsichord. The musica cubicularis ensemble with soprano Helena Bregar will perform them for the first time in modern times. The composers include Pergolesi, Hasse and Leonardo Leo.

Participants: Helena Bregar, soprano, and the ensemble musica cubicularis.
