Christophe Rousset - Il Burbero Di Buon CuoreIl Burbero di buon cuore is based on one of the most popular and amusing French comedies by Carlo Goldoni, Le bourru bienfaisant. A brilliant libretto, music that can be both graceful and captivating, and a first rate cast make of this opera a welcome rediscovery. The music is simple, charming, orchestrated tastefully and with a wealth of colors.
