Ermione - Rossini

In Ermione, a Spartan princess grapples with unrequited love that threatens to disrupt the peace following the Trojan war. The storyline presents a dramatic choice between forgiveness and murder, reflecting the intense emotions and conflicts of the characters involved.

Originally performed 200 years ago, Ermione was noted as Rossini's most ambitious opera, despite its initial failure. This new production at the Teatro di San Carlo highlights the opera's revival, showcasing its innovative elements and dramatic narrative. With a cast that includes notable performers such as John Irvin and Antonino Siragusa, collectors of opera will appreciate this fresh interpretation of a historic work.
