It will be the first modern revival of key scenes from the baroque opera Achille in Sciro by Giuseppe Arena created in 1738 for the Teatro delle Dame in Rome. The performance will include arias of the protagonists Achilles and Deidamia originally conceived for two famous castrati. The music was brought from Rome by the enthusiastic Styrian nobleman Count Ignaz von Attems and some arias were found in the Castle of Slovenska Bistrica.
