This is my second Paisiello comedy, after “Don Chisciotte” of 1976. This time I did not have to adapt the music for the piazza, but for small theatres. The orchestration is for smaller forces than in the original, and has been made more flexible and narrative. Lengthiness has disappeared; the recitatives are no longer secco, but are instead provided with a concertante piano part. The whole thing is conceived as an amusing entertainment; the splendour and misery of the im- postor revealed to be derided and deplored.

Giovanni Paisiello: Il Re Teodoro in Venezia

Mit der örtlichen Blaskapelle, Montepulciano 1976

Hans Werner Henze founded the Cantiere in 1976 and directed it for five years. With the realisation of joint projects by residents of all ages with internationally renowned artists and young talents, it quickly became one of the most important music festivals in Italy and also in Europe, if the focus is on the educational and social implications.
