Luca Pisaroni's Ercole is heroic and melodious in turn, Veronica Cangemi is a splendid Iole, and the Chorus of De Nederlandse Opera and Concerto Köln give a sublime performance under Ivor Bolton, a master of baroque music.
Wit and astute theatrical awareness are the hallmarks of this exceptional vision of Mozart's and Da Ponte's famous masterpiece, directed by the duo Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito. Set in a 1960s youth hostel, Così fan tutte is a charmingly original tableau of adolescent inexperience. Ingo Metzmacher and a sparkling ensemble and cast underscore this unique vision of a kaleidoscope of human emotions with commitment and vitality.
Daniel Harding conducts the Chorus & Orchestra of the Teatro La Fenice with DTsirTe Rancatore, soprano; Antonio Poli, tenor; Luca Pisaroini, baritone in the music of Dvorak (Sym. No. 9), Verdi, Mozart, Bellini, Rossini, Donizetti.
