Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Anna Maria Chiuri

Female voices dominate in the vocal cast: Rachel Willis-Sørensen debuts as Leonora and charms the audience; Anna Maria Chiuri has the temperament and rich vocality requested by the role of the gypsy.

An astonishing performance by Asmik Grigorian is central to the Italian director's disturbing reading of a disturbing opera. 

Every time Ponchielli’s La Gioconda is staged its popular fortune is renewed, but the diffidence of the musicography also remains unchanged.

An intriguing combination which mixes up together the exuberant sensuality of Granados’ one-act-opera, the gloomy shades and the melancholy liturgy of Suor Angelica.
