Antwerp's Opera Vlaanderen continues its Rossini opera cycle with this production of his rareIy performed Armida, conducted by Alberto Zedda. The work features no less than four tenors in the Ieading roles, taken here by the commanding voices of Enea Scala, Robert McPherson, Dario Schmunck and the young rising star, Adam Smith. Stage director Mariame Clément teams up once more for Opera Vlaanderen with set designer JuIia Hansen, buiIding on their successful production of CavaIli's Il Giasone, which was also released on the Dynamic labeI (CDS663). Here they take a critical look at the world of the Crusades. CIément sees Armida as the incarnation of the magicaI concept of love, for which noble and heroic knightIy ideals are cast aside, turning Iove into a destructive frenzy. |
