Il Corsaro

Very rarely staged, Il corsaro tells the story of an exiled corsair called Corrado, who goes to war against the Turkish and helps a slave recover her freedom. But back from a long absence, he realises his heroism has cost the life of his beloved Medora, and not only hers...

Directed by Nicola Raab, Il Corsaro leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Fabiano, Kristina Mkhitaryan, Oksana Dyka — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 2018.
