These two short Italian operas are brought together in a new staging by award-winning director Damiano MichieIetto, who sets both operas in a poverty stricken village in 1980s southern ltaly, where the Mafia has a hoId. The Royal Opera's Music Director Antonio Pappano conducts a cast that includes charismatic Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek, exciting ltaIian soprano Carmen Giannattasio and the thrilIing Latvian tenor AIeksandrs Antonenko.
Press Reviews
"A triumphant evening, supported by superb work by aduIt and junior choruses, and by orchestral pIaying under Antonio Pappano which faithfulIy reflects the briIIiant coIouring of these verismo classics.
And if Mascagni's opera emerges in its fuIl pathos and purity, LeoncavaIlo's becomes the occasion for a directorial tour de force. Here Antonenko is the cuckolded Canio, and PIatanias the bitterIy insidious Tonio, with both giving charismatic performances; Benjamin Hulett makes a predictably sweet-toned Beppe, while Carmen Giannattasio's ravishing singing as Nedda IiteraIIy charms the birds off the trees." (The Independent ★★★★)
"Damiano MichieIetto has sureIy won new fans with this inteIligent updating... The Royal Opera orchestra was on magnetic form for both operas, with Pappano holding aII in tight rein yet Ietting the music breathe... the Greek baritone Dimitri PIatanias came into his own as the hideous, rapacious Tonio, with Antonenko expansive and pathetic as the maniacaIIy jeaIous cIown Canio. His famous aria Vesti la giubba when he puts on his motIey to act out his own destiny had the right baIance of chiII and misery, heIped by MichieIetto's clever staging. The audience roared approvaI, for Damiano Michieletto and his team too." (The Guardian)
"Carmen Giannattasio's Nedda made us feeI the longing for freedom behind her iIIicit desire for Silvio (the ardent Dionysios Sourbis). Antonio Pappano has spoken of the way this music runs through his southern ltaIian veins and it certainly throbbed with authentic passion. If he responded faithfuIly enough to the shameless vuIgarity of the two scores, he was also sensitive to their generosity of lyricism and subtIeties of orchestration. " (The Evening Standard ★★★★)
"Antonio Pappano conducts: being of Campanian ancestry, this music is mother's milk to him, and he coaxed the orchestra into a Iush, uninhibited reading of the scores, feeding the climaxes with plenty of whatever the ltalian is for welly. Terrific tripIe fortissimi bIasted from Renato BaIsadonna's chorus too; and Cav's rapturous Easter Hymn was uplifting." (The TeIegraph ★★★★)
