Tito Manlio
The UK premiere of one of Vivaldi's most colourful operatic scores, apparently written in only five days to celebrate a wedding and first performed in 1719. The complex, three-act plot centres around the rivalry between the Romans and Latins during the time of the Roman Republic. This concert performance was given in July at the Royal College of Music in London.
La Serenissima, directors Adrian Chandler (violin) and Giulia Nuti (harpsichord)
