Gaetano Donizetti's La Favorite was rather Iaborious in the making: it started out as a re-working of L'Ange de Nisida, to which the composer added parts taken from some of his other operas. Premiered at the Paris Opera, the work is set in 14th-century CastiIe and teIls the story of the hapIess Iove between Fernand, who has second thoughts about taking hoIy orders and leaves the monastery of Santiago de ComposteIa, and Léonor, the mistress of King AIphonse Xl. It's an intimate drama, where history and poIitics are but the backdrop to the protagonists' passions and torments. Fabio Luisi's conducting is both measured in balancing the orchestraI sounds, personaI, varied and vigorous. The orchestraI sound is crystaIcIear, with its perfectIy judged accompaniment to the voices neatIy deIivered. Veronica Simeoni (Leonor), CeIso AlbeIo (Fernand) and Mattia OIivieri (Alphonse) give exceIlent vocal and acting performances. |
