Ricciardo e Zoraide

Synopsis

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the premiere of the Rossini rarity, the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro stages "Ricciardo e Zoraide" with an all-star cast. Juan Diego Flórez makes his debut as the crusader Ricciardo, giving a "masterclass in bel canto" (Bachtrack). Pretty Yende – "radiant and richly expressive" (Financial Times) as Zoraide – proves that she is "a virtuosa in Rossini singing" (Neue Musikzeitung).
