Agnese
Agnese © Edoardo Piva / Teatro Regio Torino
Agnese is a rare opera by Ferdinando Paër, which was rediscovered by conductor Diego Fasolis in 2008. Paër, who wrote more than 50 operas, composed it in 1809. Agnese gained immediate success and among its admirers were Berlioz, Chopin and Victor Hugo. The opera was performed until the mid-1850s. When Uberto’s daughter Agnese elopes with her beloved Ernesto, Uberto loses his mind and believes her dead. He is therefore locked into an asylum. Several years later Agnese, who in the meantime has had a daughter, returns to seek her father’s forgiveness, after being betrayed and abandoned by Ernesto.
