『湖上の美人』
Rossini’s La Donna del Lago
Rossini, one of the great masters of glittering Italianate charm and spectacle, would seem an unlikely candidate to create an operatic retelling of Sir Walter Scott’s shadowy epic of clan warfare in 16th-century Scotland. But the heart of the drama is a classic love triangle—something every opera composer is comfortable with—and as Elena, the title heroine, is pursued by two tenors portraying suitors from rival factions, Rossini has the perfect opportunity to bring all of his musical brilliance to bear.
Joyce DiDonato and Juan Diego Flórez star in Rossini’s operatic adaption of Sir Walter Scott. The cast also includes Daniela Barcellona and John Osborn, with Michele Mariotti on the podium.
