Recommended Italian operas

‘Fuchs is a delight. As are the orchestra and the chorus under Emmanuelle Haïm – Handel turns every second of the score into Shakespearean magic.’ – BBC Music Magazine

‘The singers are all good actors, and their

interactions with each other are honest and believable. …Joshua Guerrero is handsome and has a solid grasp of Puccinian style. His voice, like Bystrom’s, is attractive. …Viotti leads an exciting performance, well-paced.’ – American Record Guide

OPERA NEWS

‘The glamorous (visually and vocally) Angela Vallone, as Livia, excels both in amorous longing and fiery indignation. Her fellow soprano, the bright-toned Bianca Tognocchi, brings comic panache to the role of the knowing, seen-it-all Brillante.’ – Gramophone Choice

‘Director Robert Carsen brings Cavalieri’s work to life; conductor Giovanni Antonini draws out the score’s texture and colours… Anett Fritsch is a bright-toned, bright-eyed Anima, Daniel Schmutzhard’s Corpo the good-time guy ready to give it all up and follow her lead.’ – Gramophone
