Antonio Cesti
La Dori

A tragi-comic opera in three acts from the mid 17th century, Cesti's opera is set in Babylon and tells a twisted and sometimes confusing tale of lead characters with multiple identities in disguise, all looking to find love.Orchestra Productions' Karen Khachatryan was commissioned to direct the video recording of "La Dori" production for Naxos Records at the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music at the Grobes Haus, Innsbruck. Composed from the recordings of two separate performances in front of live audiences, the video production of "La Dori" - available for purchase under the Naxos Records label - does justice to this thrilling production that revived a forgotten masterpiece.
