Hooray for Holy Land
[…] Gounod’s Juliette; he as Don José. Luchetti had a very appealing tenor that I liked very much but I never managed to hear him live. On the other hand I did catch one of Gasdia’s rare US appearances–at the Lyric Opera of Chicago as Bellini’s Amina in La Sonnambula in which she was charming and moving rather than dazzling.

I was lucky enough to see it there, along with other two Handel shows: Peter Sellars’s life-changing Giulio Cesare and Andrew Porter’s shockingly dreary Tamerlano (enlivened only by the memorable singing of Lillian Watson and Judith Malafronte as its ill-fated lovers). I had never heard a note of Teseo before that afternoon and vividly recall being knocked over by the richness of its orchestral writing, the impossibly florid arias and duets, and the bravery of a cast challenged (and sometimes defeated) by those great difficulties. That production featured three sopranos and three countertenors, as the sole low solo voice appears (as the deus ex machina) only moments before the final coro. […]
