World premiere of the complete performance of the baroque oratorio Il Giardino del Rose by Alessandro Scarlatti, performed by the ensemble La Ritirata under the direction of Josetxu Obregón.
This pastoral work premiered on Easter Sunday, April 24, 1707, in the grand Sala dell’Accademia of the Palazzo Bonelli, as part of the Easter celebrations. At that time, opera performances were prohibited in Rome by papal decree, so the oratorio was used as an alternative.
