A Life On-Line: Prince Igor, Ermione, Don Carlos and a choir of cats, sheep and cows
[…] production was part of the celebrations. A grand affair, using Verdi's 1867 original version in French with the prelude and opening scene restored, but without the ballet. This featured a strong cast, with Gregory Kunde as Don Carlos, Yolanda Auyanet as Elisabeth, Ildebrando D’Arcangelo as Philippe, Kate Aldrich as Eboli, Lionel Lhote as Rodrigue (the only major role sung by a Francophone singer) and Roberto Scandiuzzi as Le Grand inquisiteur, conducted by Paolo Arrivabeni.

Conductor Paolo Arrivabeni can be credited with keeping the score afloat and propulsive during the passionate duets, but the choral passages were dull and turgid, like the air coming out of one of the set’s bubbles and balloons. Arrivabeni’s conducting style is quiet and devoid of any obvious passion for the score, and he frankly looks bored much of the time.
