Intérprete: Alessandro Talevi

En la noche de apertura de la temporada del Teatro Real, Mariella Devia demostró por qué es una de las mejores cantantes belcantistas de las últimas décadas.

Riccardo Chailly’s final new production as artistic director is a celebration of Verdi and of a conductor whose relationship with the Milanese audience has clearly deepened over the years.

A historical staging with well sung arias doesn't really bring Puccini's opera alive as Rome marks its 125th anniversary. 

Alessandro Talevi production for Festival O has sight gags and vaudeville tricks aplenty and features splendid voices in a fine cast. 

It is a thing of wonder that Roberto Devereux is one of Donizetti’s lesser known works. Whether on account of its challenging soprano part, or its fussy Tudor setting, it is rarely performed, but contains some of the composer’s most beautiful – and indeed memorable – arias and duets.

Alessandro Talevi's gorgeous staging recreates Tosca as it might have been seen at its 1900 première.
