Christophe RoussetAbout
First performed on 2 June 1771 in Vienna, Armida presents a perfect synthesis of the Italian and French styles.
Salieri was just 20 when he turned to the difficult opera seria genre. He chose to tackle a well-known subject: that of the love affair between the Christian Crusader Rinaldo and the Saracen sorceress Armida, borrowed from Tasso’s epic poem Gerusalemme liberata.
A very dense plot focuses on an intense drama involving just four characters. The fluidity, originality and brio of his compositional style were to ensure Salieri’s lasting reputation throughout Europe.
