Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Chiara Tirotta

Appearing in Naples after an absence of 34 years, Bellini's opera was given in a concert performance headed by Lisette Oropesa and Xabier Anduaga.

A successful new production of the maestro’s opera buffaat the Rossini Opera Festival with a solid cast led by Marina Monzó.  

A bland staging: at the end what really emerged was Rossini’s glorious music, its intelligent construction and perfect beauty.

A revival of a verismo rarity: Umberto Giordano's La cene delle beffe at La Scala.
