PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN KURZBESCHREIBUNG " These two short Italian operas are brought together in a new staging by award-winning director Damiano Michieletto, who sets both operas in a poverty stricken village in 1980s southern Italy, where the Mafia has a hold. The Royal Opera's Music Director Antonio Pappano conducts a cast that includes charismatic Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek, exciting Italian soprano Carmen Giannattasio and the thrilling Latvian tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko. Press Reviews "A triumphant evening, supported by superb work by adult and junior choruses, and by orchestral playing under Antonio Pappano which faithfully reflects the brilliant colouring of these verismo classics. And if Mascagni's opera emerges in its full pathos and purity, Leoncavallo's becomes the occasion for a directorial tour de force. Here Antonenko is the cuckolded Canio, and Platanias the bitterly insidious Tonio, with both giving charismatic performances; Benjamin Hulett makes a predictably sweet-toned Beppe, while Carmen Giannattasio's ravishing singing as Nedda literally charms the birds off the trees." (The Independent ★★★★) "Damiano Michieletto has surely won new fans with this intelligent updating... The Royal Opera orchestra was on magnetic form for both operas, with Pappano holding all in tight rein yet letting the music breathe... the Greek baritone Dimitri Platanias came into his own as the hideous, rapacious Tonio, with Antonenko expansive and pathetic as the maniacally jealous clown Canio. His famous aria Vesti la giubba when he puts on his motley to act out his own destiny had the right balance of chill and misery, helped by Michieletto's clever staging. The audience roared approval, for Damiano Michieletto and his team too." (The Guardian) "Carmen Giannattasio's Nedda made us feel the longing for freedom behind her illicit desire for Silvio (the ardent Dionysios Sourbis). Antonio Pappano has spoken of the way this music runs through his southern Italian veins and it certainly throbbed with authentic passion. If he responded faithfully enough to the shameless vulgarity of the two scores, he was also sensitive to their generosity of lyricism and subtleties of orchestration. " (The Evening Standard ★★★★) "Antonio Pappano conducts: being of Campanian ancestry, this music is mother's milk to him, and he coaxed the orchestra into a lush, uninhibited reading of the scores, feeding the climaxes with plenty of whatever the Italian is for welly. Terrific triple fortissimi blasted from Renato Balsadonna's chorus too; and Cav's rapturous Easter Hymn was uplifting."

He enjoyed immense success both as a composer and conductor of his own and other people's music and created a variety of styles in his operas: the exotic flavor of Iris, the idylls of L'amico Fritz and Lodoletta, the steely power of Il piccolo Marat, and the post-romanticism of the lush Parisina. Despite this versatility, he is easily best known for the Sicilian passion and warmth of his 1890 masterpiece Cavalleria Rusticana, which caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and single-handedly ushered in the Verismo movement in Italian dramatic music. Like Mascagni, Ruggero Leoncavallo has also sometimes been called a one-opera man,although he produced numerous operas and other songs throughout his career(Mattinata was popularised by Enrico Caruso),as well as the symphonic poem La nuit de mai. His most lasting contribution to the operatic repertoire is undoubtedly his short two-act work Pagliacci, written in 1892 and still one of the most-performed operas worldwide. Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci are often produced together as a double bill and here award-winning Damiano Michieletto directs new productions of these crowd-pleasing operas, both set in a poverty stricken village in 1980s southern Italy, where the Mafia has a hold. Antonio Pappano conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra and Chorus and the cast members include charismatic Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek (Santuzza), Italian soprano Carmen Giannattasio (Nedda), Elena Zilio (Mamma Lucia), Dimitri Platanias (Tonio), and the wonderful Latvian tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko (Turiddu). --New Classics, Oct'16 Antonio Pappano knows exactly how these pieces should go, while the ROH forces play and sing their hearts out in realising them, Performance **** Recording *** --BBC Music Magazine,Christmas'16 Mehr
