Primavera

Damiano Michieletto’s enthralling Venetian drama inspired by the life of Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi.

This authentic, beautifully realised musical drama draws on Vivaldi’s early years in Venice when he taught music to abandoned and orphaned young women. When Cecilia (Tecla Insolia), a talented violinist and one of his protégées, refuses to give up her musical career for marriage, she invites dangerous attention from the orphanage’s draconian governor.

Michieletto’s feature debut follows an award-winning career stage-directing operas.
