One of the great cultural events of the season, with libretto by Pietro Metastasio and music by Francesco Corselli, the Teatro Real welcomes the premiere of Achilles on Skyros, an opera which was first presented in the Court of the Real Coliseum of the Buen Retiro in Madrid on the 8th of December, 1744.  This new production represents the first time that this piece, recuperated by the Instituto Complutense de Ciencias Musicales (ICCM), will be publicly presented with its premiere in the Teatro Real, which signs for a new production within its commitment for the recuperation of our best lyrical patrimony.
