José Cura conducts Cavalleria Rusticana
I really liked this production (Gian Carlo del Monaco) Ildiko Komlosi was wonderful as Santuzza. Kristjan Johannsson was OK as Turriddu (if only José Cura had sung it instead, what about, Cura conducts and sings Turriddu at the same time, somebody else acts Turriddu). Seng Hyoun Ko was wonderful as Alfio. Olive Fredricks was great as Mamma Lucia. Antigone Papoulkas was OK as Lola.
I think Cura was doing OK as a conductor, hard for me to say.
