Having fallen into oblivion following performances in 1839, this attractive, rare opera buffa was revived in 1973 in the Dutch city of Zaanstad (the Saardam of the libretto). It's staged on this recording at Bergamo's Teatro SociaIe as part of the Donizetti Festival in a new critical edition made for the Donizetti Foundation by Alberto Sonzogni. The pIot opens with Tsar Peter the Great working incognito as a carpenter in Sardaam's shipyard to acquire technicaI knowledge which he wiII then take back home. The mayor is convinced of this secretive arrangement, which Ieads to endIess misunderstandings. Conductor Roberto Rizzi BrignoIi Ieads the orchestra of the Donizetti Opera; stage action is in the hands of internationalIy-renowned cinema director Davide Ferrario. Headed by the renowned bass Andrea Concetti, the cast comprises emerging stars in the belcanto repertoire, incIuding Giorgio Caoduro, Juan Francisco Gatell, lrina Dubrovskaya and Aya Wakizono. |
