OPERA IN THREE ACTS, IN CONCERT FORM
City of Athens Symphony Orchestra & Chorus
The musicological research by Byron Fidetzis reveals another great work of Greek music. Written around the end of the first, powerful period of compositions of the musician from Corfu, Spyros Samaras, “Lionella” was presented during the spring of 1891 in Teatro alla Scala of Milan. Until the beginning of the 21st century there was no access to this work, with the exception of the small “Hungarian Rhapsody”. The new orchestration was done by Byron Fidetzis in 2021, based on the spartito of “Lionella”, which seems to be the only that has been saved through the course of time.
The opera is about the passion of the Hungarian aristocrat and army officer Andor for gambling. This passion wins even over his love for Lionella, a young and beautiful gipsy daughter who, because of her great love for Andor, has broken ties with her family and even her race.
