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.
