Capella Cracoviensis and its outstanding guest, countertenor Valer Sabadus recall the most characteristic feature of Baroque opera: the arias once sung by the virtuosi, as the Italians used to call the castrati. The singer and the ensemble reach for the abundant oeuvre of Nicola Porpora, Italian composer of more than 60 operas and teacher of singing whose most famous singing students were Farinelli and Caffarelli.
