By Pietro Metastasio. Directed by Lorenzo Salveti. Production Accademia Nazionale d’Arte Drammatica “Silvio D’Amico”.

Pietro Metastasio helped the spread of Italian in Europe and imposed it as the language of opera and theatre; it was a winged tongue, one to be heard and seen. The pupils of the Accademia 'Silvio d'Amico' decline its themes in a voyage marked by several destinations, ranging form Greece to the Canaries, ancient Roma to the sites of an Arcady of islands and bewitched forests, and on to a Chinese harem. And all without ever leaving their play room.
