Performer: Joel Montero

A convincing outing for Leoncavallo's rarely performed tale of adultery, populated by characters who are flesh and blood and are immediately recognisable today.

In Opera Holland Park's latest foray into obscure verismo, an excellent orchestral performance and high quality singing fails to translate into a compelling drama.

Le Théâtre Impérial-Opéra de Compiègne propose en tournée une vision réduite mais globalement convaincante du drame de Puccini, avec une soprano idéale dans le rôle-titre.
