| Inhalt: |
| Gaetano Donizetti's La Favorite was rather laborious 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 Castile and telIs the story of the hapIess love between Fernand, who has second thoughts about taking hoIy orders and Ieaves the monastery of Santiago de Compostela, and Léonor, the mistress of King Alphonse XI. lt's an intimate drama, where history and politics are but the backdrop to the protagonists' passions and torments. Fabio Luisi's conducting is both measured in baIancing the orchestral sounds, personal, varied and vigorous. The orchestral sound is crystalclear, with its perfectly judged accompaniment to the voices neatIy deIivered. Veronica Simeoni (Leonor), Celso AlbeIo (Fernand) and Mattia OIivieri (Alphonse) give exceIIent vocal and acting performances. |
