To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the premiere of the Rossini rarity, the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro staged Ricciardo e Zoraide with an all-star cast. Juan Diego Flórez makes his debut as the crusader Ricciardo, giving a "masterclass in bel canto" (Bachtrack). Pretty Yende - "radiant and richly expressive" (Financial Times) as Zoraide - proves that she is "a virtuosa in Rossini singing" (Neue Musikzeitung). "Conductor Giacomo Sagripanti and the RAI National Symphony Orchestra extract maximum detail and electricity from Rossini's novel score." (Financial Times)
