Il matrimonio segreto (The Secret Marriage) Presented by Liszt Academy

The longest encore in the history of opera: this record has indisputably been held by the  opera buffa of Domenico Cimarosa since 1792, because at the Vienna world première The Clandestine Marriage was such a massive success that it was immediately repeated in its entire length at the command of Emperor Leopold II. Since then the two-act opera has won over many more people, for example, Giuseppe Verdi was convinced that “it is a true musical comedy which perfectly fulfils all the requirements of the opera buffa”. This opera offering marvellous roles and spectacular parts for performers is now on stage in a production by the students of the Freiburg Conservatory of Music. In addition to the performance, the students let us get a glimpse of the art pedagogical work taking place in this distinguished workshop (founded in1946) of educational and music life in the German province of Baden-Württemberg.
