Teatro Malibran // Venice
// Le Metamorfosi di Pasquale is a farsa giocosa per musica set to a libretto by Guiseppe Foppa, better known for his writing for Rossini. The main character, in a classical example of identity swap, exchanges roles with a fleeing marquis who is evading capture - with love, titles, and fortune involved, the farce proceeds as a comedy of errors
// brought to the stage by Gran Teatro La Fenice and the Academy of Fine Arts for the first time in modern times, thanks to a collaboration with the Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini, Jesi (Italy)
