Intérprete: Natalia Tanasii

Laurent Pelly y Gustavo Gimeno dirigen una encantadora producción de La novia vendida en la que todos los intérpretes extrajeron la mejor esencia de la música de Smetana.

Despite Michieletto's visual gloom, the evening is redeemed by Myung-whun Chung’s masterful conducting and a cast that brings conviction to a production that rarely trusts the opera’s own dramatic power.

Andreas Homoki macht in seiner Inszenierung einen grossen Bogen um alles Spanische. Die Hauptdarstellerin Marina Viotti will keine Femme fatale sein. Doch Gianandrea Noseda lässt die klanglichen Trümpfe der Partitur ausspielen. 

The Philharmonia and Garsington Chorus deliver great performances, as do Natalia Tanasii and Fleur Barron as the two Larina sisters.

An Elektra conducted like Mendelssohnian fairy music, sung not shouted, just as Strauss required.
