Francesco Gasparini

It’s not Hamlet, and it’s not Shakespeare. It’s Ambleto — the very first opera in music history to tell the story of the Danish prince — brought to Vienna with an unexpected ending that celebrates the central role of female figures. This symbolic choice lies at the heart of the new production of Ambleto, the Baroque masterpiece by Francesco Gasparini, on stage at the MusikTheater an der Wien from May 6 to 17, 2025.
