Pergolesi's comic opera Lo frate 'nnamorato (The Brother in Love) from 1732 was his ticket to the Royal Chapel in Naples. Its huge success was due to the beautiful score, showing Pergolesi's talent for opera compositions, and the exquisite Libretto by Gennarantonio Federico. Lo frate nnamorato especially owes its wit and exuberance to the comic resources of improvisational theatre, which is, reected in the narrative structure and relationships between the dramatis personae. Love triangles, marriage plans that come to nothing, intrigues and more lead the opera along to the unsuspected outcome.
The 2011 Jesi production, set in the 1950s, features an outstanding cast of singers that further present rst-class acting skills that drive a line between quintessence and parody, inventive genius and a sense of tradition, caricature and insight into the roles and characters. Nicola Alaimo, Elena Belore, Patrizia Biccirè and Jurgita Adamonyte to name but a few carry this wonderful production, realized by the young Argentine director Willy Landin. Fabio Biondi began his career as a Wunderkind Violinist at the age of twelve. In 1990 he founded his fabulous ensemble Europa Galante, which quickly became the most internationally renowned and awarded Italian ensemble of baroque music.
