“As Poliuto, Santiago Ballerini embodied the virtues of Teatro Nuovo’s house style with a pretty, graciously produced tenor capable of reaching dramatic heights. “

“Mattia Venni was a sensational Crispino — his handsome baritone and capacity for self-parody allowed him to evolve from the melodramatic sobs of an almost-suicide scene to the complacent patter of success.”
#opera #classicalmusic #belcanto #teatronuovo
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/21/arts/music/teatro-nuovo-donizetti-poliuto-ricci-crispino.html

“In the Donizetti, Jakob Lehmann, who both played violin and conducted with his bow, relished accelerating the tempo of concluding allegros and guided the music with such subtlety that even staccatos had shape to them. The maestro al cembalo Jonathan Brandani effectively conducted “Crispino” from the keyboard and let the bass and cello lead in recitatives.”

Crispino e la Comare (Ricci) by @teatronuovony last night was great fun. Mattia Veni as Crispino displayed a very fine singing and a fabulous stage presence. Most of the cast was strong if not excellent.
But the music, if enjoyable, is not so mesmerizing or thrilling (except maybe for a duet or a trio).
