PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This new production at the Teatro alla Scala was recorded live on opening night, December 7, 2008. The cast is lead by Ferruccio Furlanetto, Stuart Neill, Dalibor Jenis and Dolora Zajick. Danielle Gatti conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of La Scala. The opera is presented in a four-act Italian-language version that Verdi prepared for the 1884 La Scala premiere. Includes “behind the scenes” bonus material.
REVIEWS
“Dolora Zajick [is] another veteran in full command of her considerable resources. She shades the veil song as Verdi intended, following his markings and executing them with flair and ease... At this point in her vocal life, she can do almost anything... The amazing mezzo also seems to be aware that she is on Italian turf, and her diction, sometimes clouded by over-closed vowels at the bottom of the head register, is more often clear here.
