With the video recordings of the GMPU’s opera production PENELOPE 25 - produced in collaboration with the Conservatorio di musica “Benedetto Marcello” in Venice - now available on the GMPU’s YouTube channel, a recording of Francesco Bartolomeo Conti’s opera Penelope (1724) is publicly accessible for the first time. 

The playlist includes live recordings of the performances in Klagenfurt on May 24 and 25, 2025, conducted by Klaus Kuchling, as well as the youth opera conducted by Jimin Han (conducting student at GMPU). 

Thanks to the skilled and committed work of our video and audio technicians, Penelope can now be enjoyed at any time in various castings and in 4K quality, and used for further research and teaching: Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a cheerful, colorful, and emotional Baroque opera evening about the jealous Ulisse, the steadfast Penelope, the cunning Dorilla, and the simple-hearted Tersite; the noble Telemaco and the amorous Argene; the despotic Medonte; and the longing Eurimaco. 

The libretto, available in Italian and German, can be found on this website.
