LA VESTALE
by Saverio Mercadante
(in Italian)
LA VESTALE -
Mercadante’s masterpiece - sets in motion a revolution against the excesses
of the bel canto school in favour of dramatic truth in both music and vocal
lines. The young Verdi took notice and unconsciously yielded to reminiscences
of LA VESTALE, inspired by its illicit love, transcendental heroism and final
atonement.
