[…] without the traditional cuts: Raimondo´s arias, the Madness scene with the reactions of those present including Enrico´s remorse, and the Tower tableau in which Enrico challenges Edgardo to a duel. How fares La Plata´s Argentino recent revival? Good enough though not brilliant vocally and orchestrally, but a wrongly conceived staging, for producer Rita Cosentino, an avowed feminist, moves the action to the Victorian period because according to her it was a patriarchal time of gender violence. However, precisely then Scotland was quite at peace with England and furthermore there were no fights among clans; also, Enrico may use Lucia as a way to save his political skin but it´s quite logical that he should be startled to know that Edgardo loves her.

[…] enamorados, y la cuarta muy distinta, un Cántico espiritual de Novalis sobre la Virgen (amor sacro). Torres está en su mejor nivel, con una musicalidad perfecta y un bello timbre, y el compositor acompaña con su límpido toque y captación exacta de los matices tímbricos y armónicos. El CD está bien grabado en el Estudio Cosentino (2005-8) interviniendo Fabiola Russo y Javier Cosentino, y el folleto no tiene erratas. Incluye traducciones bien hechas del propio Mucillo, Jaime Botana y Claudia Rojas de los textos de Monjeau y de los Lieder. En suma, un verdadero aporte que merece ser ampliamente conocido.

BAL had done a good musical job back in 2006, though with modernistic touches in Rita Cosentino´s production. Although I believe that such a young institution shouldn´t insist with the same title only six years later, I came out of the theatre quite contented, for the music was admirably sung and played, and the production by Mercedes Marmorek was much better attuned to the 1820´s Russian ambience. Small mistakes apart (no writing desk nor inkwell in Tatiana´s Letter Scene, a rather botched duel), the acting was sincere and accurate, the country […]
