A close examination of one of the greatest Italian poets of all time, whose best works (to the contrary of his own opinion) were those destined to be set in music. Structure and euphonic verse, unparalleled fame. Lots of music. An opportunity to better understand the opera/melodramma of the eighteenth century, its follies, its castrati.
