About
Stradella is an opera full of youthful ardour, animated by a strong romantic spirit, in which the orchestra - as one would expect from even a young César Franck - is not mere accompaniment to the voices but has a role of its own.

Jaco Van Dormael's watery staging (with the same forces as the CD recording) plays on the Venetian setting of the drama. In a bold step, he also alters the plot substantially (from a happy to a tragic ending), but retains the full original score by altering the finale into a video projection of the protagonists in the afterlife.
