di Gioachino Rossini
melodramma sacred in 3 action
Director: Jang Su Dong
Director of orchestra: Mark Gibson
Scenes and customs: Giovanni Fioretto
In the Rossini¹s repertoire "Mose'" is considered
a very difficult opera and is seldom performed. Yet, during
its tenth anniversary season, the Gloria Opera Company performed
this
melodrama at the Seoul Arts Center in Korea. It was the
first time "Mose'"
had ever been performed in Korea.This is an enterprice of
elevated cultural dimention and therefore worthy of most
attention. Among all the prominent Korean directors
and designers working on "Moses" was a young Italian
scene designer, Giovanni
Fioretto. His work with them during this remarkable cultural
undertaking will
reinforce the bonds of friendship between our two countries.
For the reasons that I have briefly indicated above, to
everyone that has contributed to the realization of this
event I wish all great success on their crowning achievement,"
Carlo Trezza Ambassador of Italy
