Performer: Dmitry Lavrov

Un propuesta clásica de Il trovatore en la que los auténticos protagonistas fueron los cantantes entre los que destacaron Angela Meade y Agnieszka Rehlis con una actuación ejemplar.

The Met’s revival of David McVicar’s year-old take on the perennial Verismo twins strikes out emotionally in Cavalleria rusticana but scores high in Pagliacci. Working on the same set by Rae Smith, flanked by the forbidding stone walls of the town church, Cavalleria is dark, dark, dark – the very picture of a poor, unhappy Sicilian hill town.

Zeffirelli's La Bohème at the Met never fails to charm. Balance issues aside, a beautifully sung performance by a very capable cast.
