The Teatro Pergolesi di Jesi’s 57th season continues with Spontini’s “I Quadri Parlanti.”

The opera, which will open on Nov. 29 and will also be performed on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, will be performed for the first time in modern history. The work had its world premiere in 1800 at the Teatro di Santa Cecilia a Palermo and has not been seen for two centuries.

The new version that will be performed is a critical edition curated by Federico Agostinelli by Edizioni Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini.

The manuscript for the original score was rediscovered in 2016 at the Biblioteca del Castello d’Ursel ad Hingene in Flanders. Giulio Prandi conducts the Time Machine Ensemble in a new production by Gianni Marras.

The cast will include Martina Tragni (Chiarella), Davide Chiodo (Menicuccio), Alfonso Michele Ciulla (Don Bertoldo), Giuseppe Di Giacinto (Capitan Belfiore), Michela Antenucci (Rosina), Giada Borrelli (Bettina), and Francesco Tuppo (Abbate/Falloppa).
