Angela Meade fills in for an indisposed soprano in Los Angeles Opera’s company debut of Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux.

With the many glories of the score and the easy butts of class and marital comedy, it is hard not to be pleased by a Figaro performance, although tonight’s did not sparkle as much as it might have. 

With smart direction, elegant design, and vocal fireworks, the Canadian Opera Company's Roberto Devereux offers a complex portrait of a much-loved historical figure.
