For La Scala’s prima, outstanding vocal performances light up a busy but interesting staging of Verdi’s revenge opera by Leo Muscato.

An excellent cast and smart, engaged direction make for an auspicious season launch in San Francisco Opera’s production of one of Verdi’s most sophisticated creations.  

The singer-actors of this lively Neapolitan opera are entangled in a farcical plot in the Teatro alla Scala's revival of the genre.

Riccardo Chailly gives a masterful rendition of Rossini’s masterpiece, leading a solid cast in an inspired performance, in Leo Muscato’s new staging. 

The Teatro Regio presents a Classical rarity with echoes of Mozart and anticipations of Rossini. Diego Fasolis conducts with imagination and spunk.

Die Accademia Bizantina und Solistenriege nahm es mit den schillernden Fähigkeiten Giacomellis Operncast in Venedig 1735 auf – und gewann. Muscatos Inszenierung störte dabei nicht.
