Amor tiranno! [4.26] less interesting. Opera is often thought of as 1811. Its libretto really reverses the definition of following generic lines and the basic opera plot opera quotes above. In this opera, the tenor stops Coro, Recitativo e Rondò (Isabella, L’Italiana in Algeri) has been described as “the tenor wants to marry the baritone from marrying the mezzo and does it 2.

Verdi's Rigoletto
Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered. -

Søvngængersken
SØVNGÆNGERSKEN La sonnambula Opera semiseria i 2 akter af Vincenzo Bellini – Teatro la Fenice 2014 Bellinis La sonnambula er ægte bel canto, hvis særkende er virtuos sang fremfor historie og stormusikalsk udvikling, og sværhedsgraden af de sanglige udfordringer er åbenbar for enhver. Det var datidens store sopran Giuditta Pasta (valgt af Bellini) der sang ved uropførelsen. I det 20. århundrede havde sangere som Maria Callas og Joan Sutherland stor succes i rollen som Amina (Søvngængersken). Sopranen Jessica Pratt løfter smukt arven som Amina i denne historie om forvikling og misforståelse, der foregår blandt et rejseselskab af skiturister i Alperne i 30’erne. Varighed: ca. 2t. og 20m. ex. pause. Denne "spændende og vittige" - i ordene fra Tysklands prestigefyldte Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung - ny produktion af Vincenzo Bellinis La sonnambula blænder med sine kærlige detaljerede og fantasifulde sæt, der gengiver et schweizisk alpint feriested i 1930'erne. (Bellini selv satte handlingen i en schweizisk landsby). Komplet med et majestætisk bjergpanorama, svævebane, bus og stor restaurant, for ikke at nævne de farverigt klædte resortgæster. Sætdesigner Massimo Checchetto har skabt en fortryllende billedbog med visuelle overraskelser. Den oprindelige handling 1.akt Amina og Elvino er blevet forlovede, hvilket fejres med en fest i landsbyen. Under festlighederne ankommer en fremmed til landsbyen, grevens søn, Rudolfo, der selv er vokset op i landsbyen. Rudolfo indlogerer sig på landsbyens kro, der drives af Lisa, der er forelsket i Elvino. Rudolfo deltager senere i festlighederne, og bliver til Elvinos store ubehag betaget af Amina, som Rudolfo overdænger med komplimenter. Senere på aftenen går Lisa op på Rudolfos værelse, hvor de to kurtiserer. -
