Anglais - Liceu: Rescuing Doña Francisquita
[…] the action flows smoothly and easily and dusts the piece, a happy little comedy, sentimental and funny, with a happy ending. It is based on a play by Lope de Vega, which in turn is inspired by a story from The Decameron by Boccaccio, which in the plot vaguely reminds us of Donizzetti’s Don Pasquale. Doña Francisquita (© A. Bofill) Musically, the performance at Liceu reached a very high level. Tenor Celso Albelo and soprano María José Moreno were both splendid in the star roles of Fernando and Francisquita, two greatly demanding roles vocally which were delivered with easy and well-rounded high notes, ease in the vocal lines and great knowledge of the style. Tenor Alejandro del Cerro and mezzosoprano Ana Ibarra were also very good in the roles of Cardona, Fernando’s friend, and Aurora “la Beltrana”, an actress who also pretends Fernando’s love.

[…] as I call it, with what I have heard but failed to report. Starting with the broadcast of February 20, 2016 of Donizetti’s Maria Stuarda, I could tell that bel canto, which Maria Stuarda is a prime example of, was much on the minds of listeners. What transpired over the airwaves was a very fine performance indeed of this rarely heard (at the Metropolitan, at last count) cornerstone of the bel canto repertoire. Leicester (Celso Albelo) tries to spare Mary Stuart (Sondra Radvanovsky) from Queen Elizabeth’s wrath (Elza van den Heever) in Maria Stuarda Donizetti’s so-called Tudor Trilogy, comprised of Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, and Roberto Devereux, has been a showcase for dramatic coloratura sopranos for nearly two centuries. Some of our modern interpreters include Maria Callas, Leyla Gencer, Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills, Montserrat Caballe, and Mariella Devia. And the stories (greatly embellished, I might add) of the Elizabethan […]
