L'ITALIANA IN ALGERI
(65. Aufführung in dieser Inszenierung)
Musikalische Leitung: Maurizio Benini
nach einer
Inszenierung von: Jean-Pierre Ponnelle
Chorleitung: Ernst Dunshirn
Isabella: Agnes Baltsa
Beginn: 19.30
A wonderful Italiana in Wiener Staatsoper with Agnes Baltsa as the best Isabella, Juan Diego Florez wonderful as Lindoro, and Kristinn Sigmundsson was good as Mustafa. Bori Keszei as Elvira was not the best Elvira I have seen and Michaela Selinger as Zulma was also just good enough. Alfred Sramek was as usual wonderful as Taddeo. Italiana in Algeri is a wonderful
production. But personally I think that with someone like Ferruccio
Furlanetto or Ruggero Raimondi as Mustafa it would have been even
better. Florez was the most applauded person with Agnes Baltsa as the
second most applauded. Personally I could not find any error in Agnes
Baltsa's singing, she sang just most wonderfully. Perfection.
