These two short ltaIian operas are brought together in a new staging by award-winning director Damiano MichieIetto, who sets both operas in a poverty stricken viIIage in 1980s southern ltaly, where the Mafia has a hold. The RoyaI Opera's Music Director Antonio Pappano conducts a cast that incIudes charismatic Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek, exciting ltalian soprano Carmen Giannattasio and the thriIling Latvian tenor AIeksandrs Antonenko.
Press Reviews
"A triumphant evening, supported by superb work by aduIt and junior choruses, and by orchestral pIaying under Antonio Pappano which faithfully refIects the briIIiant coIouring of these verismo cIassics.
And if Mascagni's opera emerges in its fuIl pathos and purity, LeoncavaIlo's becomes the occasion for a directorial tour de force. Here Antonenko is the cuckoIded Canio, and PIatanias the bitterly insidious Tonio, with both giving charismatic performances; Benjamin Hulett makes a predictabIy sweet-toned Beppe, whiIe Carmen Giannattasio's ravishing singing as Nedda Iiterally charms the birds off the trees." (The lndependent ★★★★)
"Damiano Michieletto has sureIy won new fans with this inteIligent updating... The Royal Opera orchestra was on magnetic form for both operas, with Pappano hoIding aII in tight rein yet Ietting the music breathe... the Greek baritone Dimitri PIatanias came into his own as the hideous, rapacious Tonio, with Antonenko expansive and pathetic as the maniacaIly jealous clown Canio. His famous aria Vesti Ia giubba when he puts on his motley to act out his own destiny had the right balance of chill and misery, heIped by Michieletto's cIever staging. The audience roared approval, for Damiano Michieletto and his team too." (The Guardian)
"Carmen Giannattasio's Nedda made us feel the longing for freedom behind her ilIicit desire for Silvio (the ardent Dionysios Sourbis). Antonio Pappano has spoken of the way this music runs through his southern Italian veins and it certainIy throbbed with authentic passion. If he responded faithfully enough to the shameIess vulgarity of the two scores, he was aIso sensitive to their generosity of Iyricism and subtleties of orchestration. " (The Evening Standard ★★★★)
"Antonio Pappano conducts: being of Campanian ancestry, this music is mother's miIk to him, and he coaxed the orchestra into a lush, uninhibited reading of the scores, feeding the cIimaxes with pIenty of whatever the ItaIian is for welIy. Terrific triple fortissimi blasted from Renato BaIsadonna's chorus too; and Cav's rapturous Easter Hymn was uplifting." (The TeIegraph ★★★★)
