The operas of Nicola Vaccaj, renowned as a vocal teacher and still known today for his Metodo di Canto, employ a similar bel canto style to that of his rival Bellini. Based on a tragedy by Friedrich Schiller, the powerfully dramatic plot of La sposa di Messina deals with the inescapable and, in this case, destructive nature of destiny. Vaccaj’s own 1839 premi+¿re was dogged by bad luck, and the subject proved too controversial for Venetian audiences despite it’s numerous superb set pieces. After one complete and one partial performance, it was not staged again until the 2009 revival heard on this live recording. Antonino Fogliani’s many conducting engagements have taken him to leading international opera houses and concert halls. For Rossini in Wildbad he has directed Ciro in Babilonia, L’occasione fa il ladro, Mos+¿ in Egitto, La scala di seta, Il signor Bruschino and Otello, as well as Vaccaj’s La sposa di Messina.
