Synopsis:
The role of Isabella is sung to perfection by Cecilia Bartoli a clever, independent woman with an adventurous streak (New York Times). Bartolis superb performance in Gioachino Rossinis LItaliana in Algeri at Salzburg Festival, directed by the BAFTA-winning stage director duo Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier, is a highlight among the Rossini celebrations on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the composers death. The video captures Bartolis excellent performance in a rare audiovisual recording of the Italian superstar, who is one of the most successful opera singers of our time. In this vibrant comedy, every look, every hand gesture brings Isabella to life: Bartoli presents the spirited Italian woman with fire, finesse and extraordinary acting abilities a Rossini masterclass (Bachtrack). In the colourful sets of Christian Fenouillat, Edgardo Rochas bright tenor climbs up without effort, making his performance as Isabellas lover Lindoro flowing and highly emotional. The conductor Jean-Christophe Spinosi, showing sensitivity to the intricacies and sparkle of Rossinis score, leads the excellent Ensemble Matheus in a beguiling performance.
