Francesco Cilea is best remembered for his operas L'Arlesiana and Adriana Lecouvreur, but his final opera Gloria is a genuine rarity. Set in medieval Siena against the backdrop of conflicts between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, Gloria is a tragic tale of love and revenge that can be seen as a variation on the story of Romeo and Juliet. Filled with beautiful melodies accompanied by rich and refined orchestral sonorities, Gloria reveals itself after years of neglect as a precious masterpiece in this acclaimed production from the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari.
"Anastasia Bartoli sings the title role with a fine soprano voice that shows its strengths in the quiet, lyrical scenes. Georgian bass Ramaz Chikviladze sings Aquilante de'Bardi with a powerful voice." Pizzicato
