Notes & Reviews:

Under the baton of Roberto Rizzi Brignoli, a new generation of singers gave fresh life to Cilea's most polished work in January 2000. Daniela DessI, appearing at La Scala for the first time in the title role, was singled out for praise in the Italian press: while La Repubblica admired the "sensual tones" of her singing, La Nazione called it an interpretation which "touched the audience's heart". At her side are two of the finest Russian singers on the international stage today: Sergei Larin as Maurizio is heard in a role that sits perfectly for his voice, while Olga Borodina threatens to steal the show as the jealous Princess. Directed for stage and TN by Lamberto Puggelli.

"Borodina is a natural stage creature who can't help magnetizing audience attention. Her sound and diction may be more Slavic than Italian, but she can boom out her invective fearsomely, and she creates a palpable aura of tense menace...As Maurizio, the late Sergei Larin could not offer the looks or stature of a romantic hero, but here he sings magnificently, with an appealing tone and effortless, blazing high notes...Paolo Bregni's lavish sets (first seen in 1989) are exquisitely designed... The work of stage and video director Lamberto Puggelli is also exemplary." - Opera News
