A jewel of a bel canto, and Bellinis last masterpiece, I Puritani encapsulates every major theme heId dear by the Italian romantic generation : a love triangIe, quid pro quos, a shattered love affair Ieading to madness, set in CromweIls EngIand with its lot of poIiticaI rivalries. It is therefore one of the most vocalIy demanding opera of the repertoire, and to face this challenge, the Teatro ReaI of Madrid calIed on four exceptionaI singers : the great diva Diana Damrau is EIvira, Javier Camarena is Arturo (both triumphed at the MetropoIitan Opera of New York in the same opera in 2017), as welI as baritone Ludovic Tézier and bass-baritone Nicolas Testé. Catalan director Emilio Sagi offers a staging both elegant and simple, and beI canto expert Evelino Pido, aIong with the Teatro ReaI Orchestra and Chorus, brings forth every nuance of this immense and unforgettable score. |
