Tancredi is the first «opera seria» composed by Rossini for Venice in 1813. The work was a revolution for the Italian lyric opera. Based on Voltaire’s play Tancrède the work is the beginning of romantic opera and made Rossini known over whole Europe at the age of 21. Amenaide is in love with Tancredi. Her father Argirio, king of Syracuse offers Amenaide in marriage to Orbazzano in order to reconcile the two families. Tancredi wins the battle but is mortally wounded… Stendhal considered Tancredi as the best and most fascinating work of the composer. Combining a new orchestration and an exceptional talent for melody, Rossini invites us to a vocal thunderbolt, especially with famous aria « Di tanti palpiti » that became immediately very popular. To interpret this Tancredi, we have called on the formidable Rossinian singers who are: russian contralto Anna Goryachova and americain tenor Matthew Newlin, accustomed to the greatest world stages such as the Met in New York, Covent Garden in London or the Deutsche Oper in Berlin… but also at two truly exceptional young talents: Sarah Taubel, coloratura soprano and Valentin Thill, tenor.
