Valletta
In a rare double-bill, the Valletta Early Opera Festival presents two one-act operas by reformist composer Christoph Willibald Gluck: Il Parnaso Confuso and La Corona. Though differing in tone and setting, these two-one act operas composed in 1765 for the daughters of Empress Maria Therese, are united by their elegant mythological storytelling, rich vocal writing, and Gluck’s early vision of opera as both spectacle and emotional truth.
