"  Born in Florence at the beginning of the 16th century , opera quickly captivated Venetian audiences in the 1620s and 1630s. It then moved beyond the confines of court festivities and became accessible to the general public, who now paid for their tickets. Around 1650, Naples, still lacking a major opera composer, imported works from Venice, notably those of Monteverdi and Cavalli, leading figures of 18th - century Venetian music. Neapolitan adaptations, such as The Coronation of Poppea , bear witness to this. This program celebrates these two composers, enriched by instrumental pieces by Falconieri, for a Neapolitan touch!"
