Opera Rara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Opera Rara is a British record label, founded by Patric Schmid and Don White. It was originally created to promote concerts of rare or forgotten operas by Donizetti and the bel canto repertoire. It later expanded to include works by Meyerbeer, Mercadante and Giuseppe Verdi.
In 1977, it issued its first recording of Donizetti's Ugo, conte di Parigi, with a cast including Yvonne Kenny and Della Jones. Other singers who have participated in Opera Rara's recordings include Renée Fleming, Jennifer Larmore and Nelly Miricioiu.
It is sponsored by the Peter Moores Foundation.
