Franco Alfano, La leggenda di Sakùntala, atto I (1/5)

[rockgor]

You can read about Alfano on Wikipedia. I am so old he was still alive

when I was a schoolboy. LOL

Sakuntala is set in India. The soprano plays, as usual, a young and

beautiful girl.

Thanks for the interesting post.

Thank you SO much for posting these!!!!!! I've just discovered the story of Sakuntala and to know that it crossed cultural boundaries, reaching as far as Italy in the early 1920s... wow. Simply remarkable!!
