Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Orchestra Donizetti Opera

A concert performance of a middle period rarity is part of a slimmed down festival which transfers to an online format to audiences across the globe.

14th-century Venice, a city of intrigue, criminal activity and mysterious masks, is the setting for Donizetti's opera about the Doge Marino Faliero, whose life is torn between public and private issues.

The performance at Bergamo Opera Festival proved that L'ange de Nisida can contest the place of La favorite in Donizetti's catalog.

The Donizetti Opera Festival presents a rarity with a good cast of bel canto specialists in a somewhat disappointing production.

In Donizetti's home town, a rare outing for one of the composer's long-forgotten operas.
