About
This is the first published version of a sparkling comic opera written in 1786 for Vienna’s Burgtheater, to a Da Ponte libretto adapted from Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors.
A pupil of Mozart, Stephen Storace was a major figure in English opera of the late 18th century, and Gli equivoci is a unique testament to his versatility and promise. The work is issued with an English singing translation as well as the original Italian underlay, and the hire material includes a libretto with the Italian and English set on facing pages.
