• Alessandro Stradella’s place in the annals of the history of music is not only due to the adventurous circumstances that marked
his brief existence, but also to the reputation as a opera composer he has acquired since the 18th century. Inaccessible
for many decades to specialists and scholars, La Doriclea is definitely the least known of all Stradella’s operas. However,
it constitutes a particularly significant chapter in his overall output: composed in Rome during the early 1670s, to our
knowledge La Doriclea represents the first opera entirely composed by Stradella.
• From the dramatic point of view, La Doriclea belongs to the comedy of intrigue genre typical of the 17th century Spanish
theatre tradition. Refined and amusing, it alternates touching lamentos with irresistibly comic scenes, in which the character
of Giraldo, a veritable precursor of the basso buffo, allows us to glimpse Rossinian atmospheres.
Emőke Baráth (Doriclea) and Xavier Sabata (Fidalbo) alongside Giuseppina Bridelli (Lucinda) and Luca Cervoni (Celindo)
and the comic couple of Delfina (Gabriella Martellacci) and Giraldo (Riccardo Novaro) bring a complex and fascinating roleplaying
game to life.
• This world premiere release of La Doriclea is a major achievement for The Stradella Project, which here reaches its fifth
volume. On this occasion, Andrea De Carlo conducts the internationally acclaimed baroque ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro.
• ‘Through his festival and recording project, Andrea De Carlo is raising the profile of this pioneering Italian composer’
