Semirama, Respighi's first important operatic work, received its premiere at Bologna's Teatro Comunale in 1910. Though well received by public and press, it was never performed again. This recording debut of Semirama is part of Hungaroton's ongoing survey of Respighi's operas.

The story is essentially the same one used by Rossini in Semiramide, although all the characters' names are different: in Semiramide the names were Italianized, but for Semirama the composer and his librettist, Alessandro Cere, wanted to emphasize the exoticism of the story. Stylized, richly descriptive language adds considerably by the opera's exotic flavor. Respighi matches the opulence of the libretto with music is rich chromaticism and a glittering vividly colored orchestral fabric. --- business.highbeam.com
