An Oriental Drama in Bergamo Alta
With the performance of Alahor in Granata (1826), the Donizetti Opera Festival 2026 presents a fascinating work from the master’s early creative period. The choice of venue couldn’t be more appropriate: the Teatro Sociale, an architectural gem in Bergamo Alta, provides the perfect setting for this highly emotional drama of honor, revenge, and sibling love with its wooden structure and intimate acoustics. The plot transports the audience to Moorish Granada, where Alahor is torn between his plan for revenge and his sister Zoraida’s love for King Muley-Hassem. This production underscores the festival’s reputation for revitalizing forgotten treasures at a world-class level. Through the involvement of international soloists and a historically informed production, Donizetti’s sonic opulence is palpable in every nuance. For musicologists and lovers of rare operas, this evening at the Teatro Sociale is an absolute highlight of the European opera calendar. Detailed background information on the critical edition of the work can be found directly at the Donizetti Opera Festival . This trip combines the thrill of discovery with the proven quality of a first-class cultural journey.

The Story of Alahor in Granata
Alahor returns to Granada incognito to avenge the death of his father, who was executed by King Muley-Hassem. However, he discovers that his sister Zoraida is in love with the king. What begins as a quest for revenge transforms through intrigue and family ties into a complex web of conflicting loyalties. Donizetti masterfully uses the interplay of heroic singing and deeply felt melodies to musically underpin the final plea for reconciliation.
The Artists, Cast and Creative Team
For this production, the festival gathers an ensemble of skilled Bel Canto specialists who brilliantly master the score’s virtuoso demands. Directed by experienced stage artists and led by renowned conductors, the Teatro Sociale becomes a stage for a sonically authentic rediscovery. Accompaniment by the Orchestra Donizetti Opera ensures an interpretation that combines the spirit of the period with modern precision.
