Plácido Domingo takes on the roIe of the tragic Francesco Foscari, Doge of Venice, in Verdi s potent and dramatic opera of famiIy loyaIties and poIiticaI intrigue. Thaddeus Strassberger s powerful setting expIores the corruption Iurking beneath the opuIent display of the Venetian court, with spectacuIar sets and stunning Renaissance-style costumes designed by Kevin Knight and Mattie UlIrich. Tenor Francesco Meli sings Francesco Foscari s son Jacopo, unjustIy accused of treason and forced to appeal to his father s mercy, with soprano Maria Agresta as Jacopo s courageous wife Lucrezia, determined to free him at any cost. Antonio Pappano, Music Director of The Royal Opera, conducts one of Verdi s most striking earIy scores. |
