About
Gioachino Rossini was only 20 when he was commissioned to compose La scala di seta. It is one of four farsa comica operas which fed popular demand for this genre in Venice in the early 19th century and was wildly successful with its original audiences. Assisted by the silken ladder of the title, the diverting romantic intrigues of the narrative revolve around secretive assignations and obtuse misunderstandings, by no means helped by the presence of the slow-witted manservant Germano, in one of Rossinis most successful comedies.

Jan/Feb 2023
Claudia Urru sings the role of Giulia and is the star of the show. She sings to perfection and spits out the recitative wonderfully...she has a splendidly rounded timbre that is even and steady throughout the range except for a slight hardening at a stratospheric height. Emmanuel Franco sings the baritone role of Germano in a lively and properly buffo fashion...a must for all Rossini fans out there. Bravo Naxos!
Limelight Magazine August 2022
In its day, La Scala di Seta was a palpable hit... Listening to this appealing performance from the 2021 Rossini in Wildbad festival you can see why... Claudia Urru is a feisty and engaging Giulia...With his firm, thrusting baritone, Eugenio Di Lieto shines in the role of the comic servant Germano.
