ACDLLI FRA DIAVIOLO/F2-EP001-28/09/2020

A comic opera in three acts that recounts the story of Fra Diavolo, who took part in the Neapolitan insurrection against Napoleon's troops. This creation by Daniel-François-Esprit Auber, a light, free fantasy, delighted 19th century audiences, fascinated by the romantic figure of a brave bandit lacking neither humour nor elegance.
