Author Description

A charming one-act opera by the Italian composer Franco Leoni, Loracolo tells the story of a lovelorn young man who consults an oracle, only to be confronted with a surreal and comic series of prophecies involving magical cats and mischievous cherubs. With its witty libretto and catchy melodies, Loracolo is a delightful example of early 20th-century operatic whimsy.
