On February 21 and 22, Jennifer Rowley joins the Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari for Lorenzo Perosi’s rarely-performed oratorio, Il giudizio universale (The Last Judgement)— a piece so stunning that, at its first dress rehearsal in 1904, Pope Pius X exclaimed, “I have spent an hour in paradise.”
Rowley joins a quartet of exceptional artists, including contralto Valentina Pernòzzoli, tenor Raffaele Abete, and bass Lorenzo Mazzucchelli. Maurizio Benini conducts.
