Gazzetta (La)
This DVD is in fact the break a leg version which sees Joyce DiDonato perform her role in a wheelchair - a story which has occupied international headlines last year - and definitely a DVD which will stand out. The DVD includes bonus features like an interview with Joyce on her stage accident and subsequent wheelchair performances. Captured at London's Royal Opera House with an unbeatable cast in a sparkling colourful production this Barbiere offers a unique dramatic twist: Joyce DiDonato who had broken her leg on the first night of the run insisted on performing. As she said : Being trapped in the wheelchair was a quite literal way of demonstrating Rosina's huge desire to break free.
Rossini's 'La pietra del paragone' performed at the Teatro Real, Madrid.
This sparkling new production of Rossini's comedy is led by two of today's greatest opera stars - Maria Bayo as the young ward Rosina and Juan Diego Florez as her handsome suitor, Count Almaviva. The wily Figaro (the Barber) is Pietro Spagnoli, Bruno Practico is the hapless guardian Don Bartolo, and the cunning singing teacher Basilio is the renowned Ruggero Raimondi. Filmed in widescreen High Definition, this blu-ray captures brilliantly the Teatro Real production as it progresses from an elegant silver and white to a kaleidoscope of colour for the boisterous finale.
