Verdi Un Ballo in Maschera
NR 2 hr 15 minMusic
This production from Covent Garden is set in Stockholm and not Boston With Reri Grist Oscar Placido Domingo Gustavus Katia Ricciarelli Amelia Piero Cappucili Renato Patricia Payne the booklet or DVD fails to credit the singer Ulrica and Claudio Abbado in the pit all at their peak you just simply cannot go wrong when purchasing this DVD This performance made me realise why I had fallen in love with opera beautiful today one should be thankful and convincing sets and costumes and fiery conducting and singing from all the above soloists which leaves you breathless Domingo as the King not the Governor of Boston is simply ravishing He is so convincing and dashing as Gustavus I think very few tenors nowadays can even attempt such a convincing vocal and dramatic performance
