BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert

Penny Gore presents Rossini's opera La Gazzetta in a performance given in Pesaro.

Penny Gore presents a performance of Rossini's satirical opera La Gazzetta given at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro in August 2015.

Penny Gore presents this week's Opera Matinee: Rossini's 'La Gazzetta', which satirizes the influence of newspapers on people's lives, recorded at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro in August. The pompous Don Pomponio Storione travels the world in search of a husband for his daughter, putting ads in the newspapers, but learns that this might not be the route to his daughter's happiness. Rossini's second opera written for Naples was the only comedy he wrote there, but there are conflicting reports on whether or not it was well received.
