- Synopsis:
Ana Durlovski, Diana Haller and René Barbera lead the cast in this production of Bellini's opera, with Jossi Wieler conducting the Orchestra and Chorus of Oper Stuttgart. 'I Puritani' is one of Bellini's most creative and influential masterpieces, a bel canto opera stamped with vocal and orchestral writing of intoxicating beauty and dramatic intensity. Set in England in the Civil War shortly before Oliver Cromwells triumph, it involves romantic and political intrigues that drew from Bellini music of melodic raptness and melancholic depth. It also inspired him to compose some of his most breathtakingly virtuosic passages, notably Elviras Mad Scene, that call for the utmost in theatrical power. This production includes for the first time all the music performed at the works Paris premiere. - Studio:
