A forgotten meta-opera at La Scala: Gassmann’s L’opera seria

By Laura Servidei, 29 March 2025

Christophe Rousset leads a great cast and an even greater orchestra in Gassmann’s 1769 rarity in Laurent Pelly’s visually striking, but oddly subdued, take on a comedy that thrives on chaos.

Gassmann's comedy L'opera seria gets a new production in Brussels

By Nahoko Gotoh, 11 February 2016

An opera that pokes fun at opera seria? An opera that features backstage preparations for a show, followed by an opera within an opera? No, it’s not Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos.

Gnadenlos genial: L’opera seria am Theater an der Wien

By Snapdragon, 02 March 2026

Ein in jeder Hinsicht unvergesslichen Abend. Der Opernbetrieb wird in dieser Produktion gnadenlos durch den sprichwörtlichen Kakao gezogen, und doch kann man sich keine bessere Werbung für dieses Genre denken.
