Performer: 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.
