At the Salzburg Festival, Cecilia Bartoli shone as Ariodante with her dazzling coloratura in a highly praised new production by German director Christoph Loy, known for his clever psychological stagings. Loy turns Handel’s magnificent baroque opera into an exciting and sophisticated reflection on gender roles A top-class ensemble, above all a brilliant Cecilia Bartoli in the trouser role of the knight Ariodante, who effortlessly switches between cheerful and plaintive virtuoso singing, makes the production a true triumph. She is joined by audience favourite Rolando Villazón as Lurcano and the young American soprano Kathryn Lewek, praised by critics as a “true discovery” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). Gianluca Capuano on the podium of the Musiciens du Prince – Monaco “provides elegance, richness of color and a sensitive, rousing realization of the ingenious score.” (Courier). “Cecilia Bartoli is in a league of her own!” (Der Standard). “The singing was sensational” (LA Times) |
