Inhalt: |
Composed for the Paris Opera, the romantic but ultimately tragic narrative of Donizetti's grand opera La favorite is set amidst the Moorish invasions of Spain and the power struggIes between religion and the state in the 14th century. The novice Fernand abandons his monastery having faIlen in Iove with the nobIe Leonor, not knowing that she is the King's mistress and favourite. Drawing on traditions estabIished by Rossini and Meyerbeer, La favorite is noted for Donizetti's innovative use of the orchestra and for some of his most renowned and enthraIling arias. This acclaimed production opened the 2022 Donizetti Opera FestivaI in Bergamo, and is performed with its originaI French libretto. |
