Synopsis:
For the festivities marking Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's tercentenary in his native Jesi, Ignacio García created a new staging of the imperial drama Adriano in Siria.

His staging in Jesi's exquisite 18th century Teatro G.B. Pergolesi includes the delightful comic intermezzo Livietta e Tracollo, thus following the precedent set at the premiere in 1734.

A fine italian cast and the distinguished Accademia Bizantina are led by the Accademia's director, Ottavio Dantone.
