Il gioco delle sorti

by Gilberto Bosco, with a libretto by Sandra Reberschak

Composed in 2002, Il gioco delle sorti is an opera inspired by the Book of Esther. Written for the flute, cello, harp, percussions, piano and soprano, this musical score of 110 pages have been given to the EIJM with an audio CD of its performance.
