Vivaldi in Venice: Orlando furioso as Baroque extravaganza at the Teatro Malibran

Ivor Bolton leads a great cast in a superb musical production of Mozart’s last masterpiece, in a lukewarm new production by Paul Curran.

Federico Maria Sardelli leads a great cast of specialists in a new production by Fabio Ceresa, perfectly attuned to the Baroque style. 

John Osborn dazzles again as Tonio in a nostalgic new production by Barbe and Doucet, with a strong cast under the baton of Stefano Ranzani.

The Teatro La Fenice reprises Joan Anton Rechi’s production in its full stage version, less inspiring than the one expanded through the whole theatre during Covid times.
