Gaetano Donizetti had to follow in great footsteps with his debut in Naples in 1823. He arrived at the Teatro di San Carlo shortly after Rossini's departure, full of talent but still searching for his own voice. "Alfredo il Grande" is still influenced by Rossini, but already hints at great things to come.
The story is a celebration of heroism and magnanimous kingship and takes us to 9th-century England, where King Alfred the Great is fleeing from the Vikings. Two centuries after the spectacular failure of its premiere, this little-known opera seria was revived at the Donizetti Festival in Bergamo. It can now be understood as a reflection on humanitarian values and gestures of resistance against the destructive power of war.
Following its release on DVD and Blu-ray (Dynamic 38031 and 58031), the live recording from Bergamo is now also available as a pure audio production.
