BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Verdi: Don Carlo
Ramón Vargas (Don Carlo); Svetlana Kasyan (Elizabeth); Ildar Abdrazakov (Filippo II); Ludovic Tézier (Rodrigo); Daniela Barcellona (Princess Eboli); Marco Spotti (Grand Inquisitor); Roberto Tagliavini (Un Frate)
Teatro Regio's 2013 revival of their highly successful 2006 production of Verdi's Don Carlo celebrates the 40th anniversary of the theatre's reopening in 1973. With traditional staging and lavish costume design, the production garnered high acclaim in the national and international press, with GB Opera commending the 'sumptuous' setting and French online music magazine ResMusica praising director Hugo de Ana's decision to revive the show 'in all its splendour'.
Shown here in the four-act version, Don Carlo, is the fascinating tale of father-son power struggles, adultery and love that borders on incest. The cast - under the powerful baton of Gianandrea Noseda - is headed by renowned Mexican tenor Ramón Vargras, and also features Ludovic Tézier, who was hailed as 'one of the best Verdian singers of our time' (ResMusica). Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.

"Without doubt, the Argentinian director’s [Hugo de Ana] production is one of the best around, for the quality of sets and costumes, for the traditional yet modern / high-tech look, for the theatrical sense and the wisdom in all details and gestures for every cast member, and for the highest philological attention to every word of the libretto.
Gianandrea Noseda leads the Orchestra of the Teatro Regio expertly and securely, exuding rich colours and details especially in the wind section which is so important for the organic structure of this Verdian masterpiece. The Maestro from Milan knows how to communicate between pit and stage and creates high-emotional intensity in perfect harmony with the intentions of the composer." (Liricamente)
"More than satisfying was the musical part under the excellent conductor Gianandrea Noseda, prodigal of preciousness and attentive to restore the richness of colour and tone of the score... a special mention deserves the true protagonist of the work: the Philip II of Ildar Abdrazakov, whose breadth and softness of timbre took nothing away from the inner torment of the sovereign stretched between the call of duty and private torments. " (Corriere della sera)
"A Bravo to Noseda who managed to steer the complicated machine that is Don Carlo, an opera unmatched in poetic inspiration, human and civil, spreading a layer of sound-painting not less dense than the spectacle on stage: in line with the colours and turbid moods that dominate it. " (La Repubblica)
"Just because of the ability to bring each element to its dramatic function, it would be unfair and downright wrong to think of De Ana's staging as merely illustrative, as if the director must necessarily be reduced to the application of alternatives to theatre tradition. On the contrary the director is always present and shows himself in the excavation of the characters and their relationships." (Operaclick)
"Gianandrea Noseda's conducting is excellent, combining large-scale grandeur with finesse, and the orchestra and chorus are world class. Ramon Varga's protagonist is elegantly voiced, supply phrased and with admirable heft for his outbursts. Ludovic Tezier provides elegance and phenomenal breath control as Posa, and Ildar Abdrazakov's Filippo is in the grand tradition, his voice rich and velvety. If you are looking for a well sung and traditional performance then this will appeal." (Opera Now)
