Tune in to WRTI this afternoon at 1:00 EDT to enjoy a broadcast of OperaDelaware’s acclaimed production of Franco Faccio’s “Amleto.” The 1865 opera, on a libretto of Arrigo Boito after Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” lay unheard for over 130 years after its only revival in 1871. Boito, of course, would go on to provide Shakespeare-inspired libretti for Giuseppe Verdi’s “Otello” (1887) and “Falstaff” (1893).
