Irish National Opera

Bajazet

An extraordinary thriller. A dark, tense, claustrophobic environment. Powerful men, strong women. Desires of the heart clashing with rank and duty. If you liked the high-wire singing in INO’s Vivaldi Griselda last year, you’ll love the adrenalin rush of the instrumentally virtuosic vocal writing and show-stopping arias in his Bajazet.

“a smooth, warm tone and manic energy, tearing up the stage with every appearance” - bachtrack.com on Filippo Mineccia

“Rachel Kelly’s coloratura dazzled” - bachtrack.com

“Musical rewards abound in Bajazet, with storm arias . . . battle arias . . . rage arias and nature arias.” - Opera News [New York]

“This stunning work” - ClassicsToday.com

"Bajazet proves he's a very interesting opera composer who for many years has been unfairly known only for his instrumental music." - Fabio Biondi
