Rossini: Il Barbiere Di Siviglia

Description: Rossini: Il Barbiere Di Siviglia Product Overview Format: DVD April 20, 2010 The cast of this Barbiere, taken from performances in July 2009 at the London s Royal Opera House, could quite simply not be bettered today: dazzling Virgin Classics artist Joyce DiDonato in her signature role of Rosina; Juan Diego Flórez; the world s reigning bel canto tenor; Alessandro Corbelli, a buffo baritone who brings subtlety and edge to the traditional comic antics, and Ferruccio Furlanetto, who demonstrates that a supreme interpreter of Verdi s tortured King Phillip can also have a sense of humor. Conducting is the Royal Opera s Music Director, Antonio Pappano, who has led many complete operas for EMI Classics and who though born in London literally has the Italian style in his blood. This DVD sees Joyce DiDonato perform her role in a wheelchair a story that has occupied international headlines. Joyce brought literal meaning to the old theatrical motto Break a leg. After she broke her fibula in an earlier show Joyce was determined to finish her commitment. The good-spirited diva was re-staged into the production to allow for the additional challenges that come when a leading lady in a lively physical role must wheel around the other performers. Joyce posted the following on her blog post-performance: Well, without a doubt, last night was one of the most memorable, exciting nights in my life. I suppose that makes two in a row for me. I arrived at the theater around 4:30 and was introduced to my new co-star: a beautiful, sleek Moonlite Breezy Wheelchair. The DVD bonus features include an interview with Joyce on her stage accident and subsequent wheelchair performances.
