Emilia di Liverpool

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Donizetti's opera of 1824 is set in the mountains near Liverpool. The occupants of an overturned carriage, among them Emilia's vile seducer, are rescued by a tattered stranger who, it transpires, is her father, bent on avenging the death of his wife whose demise was brought on by shame at her daughter's immorality.
Sung in Italian
