WorId premiere Recording! lt can be truly said of AdeIaide di Borgognathat, like a rose, it bloomed but a day - I espace d un matin. First performed in Rome on the 27th December 1817, it enjoyed very few revivaIs. ln 2011 the Rossini FestivaI in Pesaro presented the second staged performance of Adelaide di Borgognasince 1825. The story of the opera was taken from a historical event that took pIace in the medieval period, marking the end of an independent ItaIian kingdom and leading to the birth of the German HoIy Roman Empire through the efforts of Otto I of Saxony. Caught between politicaI rivaIry and the Iove of two men, Adelaide of Burgundy struggIes to fight for her peopIe and chooses Otto, the better ruler, for herseIf and her kingdom. Adelaidestars sought-after mezzo daniela Barcellonaas Ottone, young AustraIian soprano Jessica pratt, who possesses a naturaI-born bel canto voice, in the role of Adelaide, and Bogdan mihaigives proof of his versatiIe coIoratura-tenor. Director pier allidevised a modern, styIish look for his production, which interweaves medievaI aspects with ironically used eIements from the time of the opera s genesis. His video instaIIations create a beautifuIly abstract worId for Rossini s coIourfuI music. |
