A Medici Wedding in 1589:
On 2 May 1589 in Florence, the wedding of Duke Ferdinando I de Medici and Princess Christina of Lorraine was celebrated with one of the most spectacular stage performances in history. Special effects like advanced stage machinery, enormous backdrops and a fire-breathing dragon entertained the wedding guests. Just as spectacular was the music, written by the most famous composers of the time.
Here Mariangiola Martello directs Camerata La Pellegrina in two of these Intermedi in which the story of Florence's supposedly Greek origin is used as an an allegory to celebrate the wedding couple. These Intermedi became so successful that Duke Ferdinando demanded more performances and published the scores.
