BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert

Penny Gore presents Hadyn's opera La vera costanza from the Haydn Festival in Bruhl.

Penny Gore presents a performance given at the Haydn Festival in Bruhl of Hadyn's La vera costanza, an opera written in 1779 for the Eszterhazy court.

Today's Thursday Opera Matinee is "La vera costanza" or "True Constancy" by Joseph Haydn. The story follows the trials and tribulations of the heroine as she is abandoned by her mad lover.
