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 tale of romantic misunderstanding, swashbuckling bravado and heartbreaking Ioyalty, in which the eloquent Cyrano feels unabIe to express his love for Roxane because of his famousIy protuberant nose - except on behaIf of his handsome but inarticulate friend, Christian. When Domingo and Radvanovsky sang Cyrano and Roxane at New York's Metropolitan Opera, Andante magazine wrote: "lncredibly, Cryano is his 121st role. And it suits him spIendidIy...Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky was Iuminous as Roxane, her passionate outburst showing off her powerful upper register to good effect." |
