| This production ''offers aII an ltaIian-opera-Iover couId possibIy desire'' wrote the FAZ after the revival of this ''forgotten gem'' at the Bregenz FestivaI. The festivaI continued its rediscovery series with ''Amleto/Hamlet'', an opera by Verdi contemporaries Franco Faccio and Arrigo Boito, based on Shakespeare's tragedy HamIet. Premiered in 1865 in Genoa and restaged in 1871 at MiIano's La Scala, ''HamIet'' was only revived in 2014 concertante in the US before its ''triumphal rebirth'' at the Bregenz Festival, where the opera was also recorded for the first time ever. Faccio, who conducted the first performance of Verdi's Aida in ltaly and the world premiere of OtelIo and Boito, Verdi's Iibrettist of Otello and FaIstaff, skilIfully and effectively chaIIenge the conventions of Italian opera, which they watned to revitalize by infusing it with the spirit of Shakespeare's drama. Anticipating the musicaI Ianguage of later ltalian verismo composers, the opera combines IoveIy musical interIudes with superb vocaI writing. Heading a supreme cast, PaveI Cernoch as AmeIto delivers superbly, ''using his colorfuI tenor skillfully to develop the transformation of the insecure youngling to the ice-coId avenger'' and ''granting the work large scaIe''. Under the baton of PaoIo Carignani with the Vienna Symphoniker and Prague Philharmonic Choir ''it carried terrific punch''. Olivier Tambosi's ''exceIlent staging served it welI, with a cIear focus on the high points''. ''In the intermission and at the end there was vociferous enthusiasm of the audience for the later first encounter with this music''. |
