A Life On-Line: Prince Igor, Ermione, Don Carlos and a choir of cats, sheep and cows
[…] a very elegant setting for the vocal set pieces and here Spirei and conductor Alessandro De Marchi drew out some fireworks. Ermione seems to be a role that Angela Meade was born to play and she produced fireworks of every type, and she and John Irvin as Pirro (the man she loves and whom betrays her or not, the plot is complex) really knocked sparks off each other. Terrific stuff, with great support from Antonino Siragusa as Oreste, Filippo Adami as Pilade and Teresa Iervolino as Andromaca. Friday, we celebrated VE day by watching an opera premiered in Munich in 1942, and apparently a conversation about art.

Verdi Trieste dir: Tiziano Severini Opera Rara ORC23 (2002) 24 bit source rec. 3 CD Live rec.

Thirty years later it had disappeared, resurfacing only for the theatre’s bicentennial celebrations in 2001. The plot – the episode from Ariosto set by Handel […]

Though still only 39, since 2007 he has been Chief at the Teatro Communale di Bologna, one of the Rossini hotspots, and loves the repertoire with a passion. He grew up in Pesaro, so Rossini’s music is in his genes. “Every summer", he told me five years ago, almost to the day, "I was so excited when the Festival started at the Teatro Rossini. I went to everything I could get to. It was wonderful to be with people like Riccardo Chailly and Claudio Abbado, Leo Nucci and so many great names.
