L'Olimpiade
Олимпиада
"If you think of Galuppi only as a master of comic opera, then this serious work, first performed in Milan in 1748, will blow your mind. It is brilliant: the music is magnificently original and challenging; the singers are astonishingly accomplished; the orchestra is directed with great spirit and flexibility; and it has been excellently and appropriately recorded in the Malibran Theatre in Venice. The scenery, direction, and filming are restrained... but the fantastic music and the highly skilled performers carry the day."
