Product Description

Libretto by GIUSEPPE PETROSELLINIDon Anchise, Podest? di Lagonero: STUART KALELa Marchesa Violante / Sandrina: BRITT-MARIE ARUHNIl Contino Belfiore: RICHARD CROFTArminda: EVA PILATIl Cavalier Ramiro: ANNIKA SKOGLUNDSerpetta: ANN CHRISTINE BIELRoberto / Nardo: PETTERI SALOMAAThis perfect exposition starts off with three classic buffo roles: an amorous old man, a wily maid and a handsome young gardener. The Cavaliere offers a serious role ? la opera seria. And a female gardener who is finta , in other words a fake, is a mezzo carattere, the title given in opera buffa to roles that are allowed to alternate between the comic and the serious, between sentimentality and drama. With its clever changes between major and minor keys, this plot is anything but clich?d.Kultur is proud to present Mozart from the intimate setting of Sweden's Drottningholm Court Theatre, dating back to 1766, providing a perfect stage for these operas and featuring excellent casts and superb directors, accompanied by period instruments for a truly authentic experience. 'For true Mozart stick with Drottningholm.' Gramophone 'Excellent standard... notable for the clarity of the period-instrument sound and for a production wholly appropriate to the tiny Drottningholm space.'
