Long Island Concert Orchestra will present the world premiere of “Rossini Perduto” on May 22, 2025.

The showcase, set for St. Jean’s Theatre in New York City, will feature music by composer David Winkler and an Italian libretto by Luigi Ballerini. The work is described as “an exploration of artistic identity, forgotten genius, and the fine line between myth and reality. Through a striking interplay of shadows, light, and cinematic projections, the opera delves into the mystery surrounding Rossini’s ‘lost’ music, questioning whether true artistic genius can ever be erased—or if it lingers, waiting to be rediscovered.”

Performers include Alessio Borraggine, Chisom (CJ) Maduakor, Clara Luz Iranzo, Daniel Bauman, Davide Piva, Eliam Ramos, Ema Mitrovic, Franco Oportus, Hasmik Asatryan, Hilary Baboukis, Hyunsoon Kim, Jongwon Choi, Lu Huang, Maia Gonzalez, Natasha Scheuble, Ricardo Fuentes, Sarah Goldrainer, Sam Rachmuth, Taylor Consiglio, Zachary Angus, and Zhedong Ren.

Stefano Koroneos directs.

“This production brings together extraordinary international talent, blending tradition with innovation to create a truly unique operatic experience,” said Cecilia Dupire, Executive Producer, per an official press release.

The production is supported by NYU Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, Italian Cultural Institute of New York, CLIP Portofino, Kairos Italy Theater, Fundación Ibañez Atkinson, New York State Council on the Arts with support of the Office of the Governor and the New York Legislature, Long Island Concert Orchestra, The Opera Foundation, and Camerata Bardi Vocal Academy, along with generous support from numerous individuals.
