The opera La campana sommersa (The Sunken Bell) is Respighi's operatic masterpiece. A symbolist drama on a supernatural theme. It is steeped in beauty, mystery and foreboding and orchestrated with the Romantic opulence familiar from his sumptuous trilogy of Roman tone-poems. Its triumph at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1928 was repeated at La Scala, Milan, and this most recent production at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, world-renowed for its staging of rarities, was hailed for its 'brilliant production' and magnificent performances.
