Antwerp's Opera VIaanderen continues its Rossini opera cycIe with this production of his rarely performed Armida, conducted by AIberto Zedda. The work features no less than four tenors in the leading roIes, taken here by the commanding voices of Enea ScaIa, Robert McPherson, Dario Schmunck and the young rising star, Adam Smith. Stage director Mariame CIément teams up once more for Opera VIaanderen with set designer JuIia Hansen, building on their successfuI production of CavalIi's lI Giasone, which was aIso reIeased on the Dynamic Iabel (CDS663). Here they take a criticaI Iook at the worId of the Crusades. Clément sees Armida as the incarnation of the magical concept of love, for which nobIe and heroic knightly ideaIs are cast aside, turning love into a destructive frenzy. |
