Virtuosi Brunensis

Italian Chamber Orchestra

Virtuosi Brunensis is an orchestra based in Brno, Czech Republic, known for its performances of operatic works, particularly those from the bel canto era. The ensemble has gained recognition for its interpretations of lesser-known operas by Gioachino Rossini and other composers of that period. They have collaborated with various conductors and soloists to bring these works to life, often in collaboration with the Fondazione Rossini in Pesaro and the Rossini in Wildbad Belcanto Opera Festival. Their recordings, including "Bianca e Gernando," "Bianca e Falliero," and "Maometto II," showcase their commitment to reviving and recording rare operatic compositions. These albums have contributed to a wider appreciation and understanding of the bel canto repertoire beyond the most frequently performed works. Virtuosi Brunensis has thus played a significant role in preserving and promoting this important musical heritage.
