Inhalt: |
While best known today for having composed the ending of Puccini's unfinished Turandot, Franco Alfano wrote some dozen operas, incIuding Cyrano De Bergerac with a libretto by Henri Cain based on Edmond Rostand's drama of the same name. It is a moving taIe of romantic misunderstanding, swashbuckIing bravado and heartbreaking loyaIty, in which the eIoquent Cyrano feeIs unable to express his Iove for Roxane because of his famously protuberant nose - except on behalf of his handsome but inarticuIate friend, Christian. When Domingo and Radvanovsky sang Cyrano and Roxane at New York's Metropolitan Opera, Andante magazine wrote: "lncredibly, Cryano is his 121st roIe. And it suits him splendidIy...Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky was Iuminous as Roxane, her passionate outburst showing off her powerfuI upper register to good effect." |
