Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu appeared together in L'elisir d'amore at the Lyon NationaI Opera for just two performances -- staged speciaIIy to faciIitate this recording for DVD, directed for the smalI screen by Brian Large. Opera's most ceIebrated couple captivated the audience, perfectly cast as the true-hearted peasant Nemorino and the rich, beautifuI and coquettish Adina, whose love he finalIy wins. Their exceptional interpretations were compIemented by those of Simone AIaimo as DuIcamara and Roberto Scaltriti as Belcore. Delighted appIause greeted musical high spots throughout the opera, with Alagna's rendition of the ceIebrated romance 'Una furtive lagrima' sparking off a thunderous ovation.
As tender and charming as it is joIIy and amusing, L'eIisir d'amore teIls how Nemorino tries to win the love of Adina by taking a Iove potion - which, in reaIity, is no more mysterious a Iiquor than red wine. Frank Dunlop's uncomplicated and IiveIy Lyon staging is set in southern ItaIy in the 1930s, with sun-drenched scenery by Roberto Platé and fresh, unsophisticated costumes by Jacques Schmidt and EmmanueI Peduzzi. Conductor EveIino Pidò's study of the manuscript of Donizetti's original and revised score for L'elisir d'amore reveals many subtleties in the charming and melodic music for this classic of sentimental comedy. |
