Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Lorenzo Izzo

A production apt for audiences who prefer a traditional, intimate staging of the most often performed of all operatic works.

Carmela Remigio excels as the Trojan Queen; Sesto Quatrini conducts a superb account of the music of a Calabrian composer who died far too young.

Every time Ponchielli’s La Gioconda is staged its popular fortune is renewed, but the diffidence of the musicography also remains unchanged.

The performance of Margherita d’Anjou seen at the Festival della Valle d’Itria in Martina Franca was the first staged in modern times.
