Elin Pritchard’s Amelia lights up an evening which is superb musically, easy on the eye and eventually overcomes the shortcomings of Antonio Somma's libretto.

Thanks to Wilson, to an orchestra in great shape, and to an excellent cast, this production was a success. Everybody did his best in the orchestra and in the chorus, without disregarding the soring passages of the score.

According to Riccardo Muti in a recent interview for Chicago Classical Review, the cardinal sins of modern conductors when interpreting Verdi are over-aggression and vulgarity. He also notes in an interview included in the concert program that one of the most unique aspects of Macbeth is its use of expressively soft dynamics, even going as far to call the technique avant-garde.

La recuperación de Il barbiere di Siviglia de Paisiello en Granada marca un hito de la presente temporada lírica en España.

L'opéra méconnu de Verdi bénéficie d'une belle direction musicale, d'une mise en scène parfaitement lisible et d'une distribution convaincante.
