Opera nova amorosa, vol. 3 Comedia nova

In a lively Neapolitan night, a newly composed comedy opens in lyrical verse, introducing a colorful cast—from the goddess Minerva, who sets the scene with a bold proclamation, to scheming servants like Scaltra and the messenger Philotea. Their aims orbit the timeless forces of fortune, love, time and death, all delivered with a musical, witty cadence.

Minerva invites listeners to watch a contest of wit, where aristocrats such as the affluent Orio and the parasitic Avido clash with clever conspirators and loyal aides. The dialogue sparkles with irony and poetic riddles, hinting how virtue and greed may steer each player's fate, while interspersed sonnets add a lyrical texture.

The audio rendition captures the rhythmic flow of the original verses, letting listeners feel the rise and fall of emotion as characters navigate love, ambition, and sudden reversals. Performed with clear diction and subtle musical accents, the piece balances humor with keen insight into human desire, offering an engaging theatrical experience for the ear.
