Il pirata | Interview with Javier Camarena
The Pirate, one of Vicenzo Bellini’s first operas, was premiered at the Teatro all Scalla in Milán. Today’s production by Emilio Sagi can be perfectly identified with his style, and similar traits to those of Luisa Fernanda or Le Nozze di Figaro are detected. In addition, this opera that proposes a veritable vocal challenge to the singers, will have two top level casts that welcome back artists such as Sonya Yoncheva, Javier Camarena, Celso Albelo and Yolanda Auyanet.
