4: Spontini, Josephine and Julia

Spontini found an influential friend in the empress-in-waiting,
Josephine Bonaparte , who helped him score his first success with the opera La
Vestale. Graham Fawcett introduces highlights of this operatic blockbuster set in republican Rome. Chorus and Orchestra of La Scala,
