You need To Check this Lucrezia Borgia Blu ray Donizetti
I have love/hate feelings for this blu-ray--on the one hand I hate the very idea of Eurotrash, but on the other hand this performance is so outstanding I would not want to be without it. So I am like Gennaro, who hates Lucrezia but loves her also.
The tenor singing Gennaro has a magnetic stage presence, which is only reduced by the removal of his shirt. Though he is the hero who saved his friend on the battlefield, he behaves like a little boy or a simpleton, hopping about on one foot while singing impeccable bel canto. Mamma mia! Amazing what a boy will do in the presence of "la Borgia!"
Edita Gruberova may be well past her vocal prime, and it shows for the first two minutes, but after she warms up the coloratura is unimpeachable. The other young principals have perfect voices for their roles and sing their heart s out. As for the horseplay on stage , it left me aghast, but so long as they kept singing I was able to maintain a sense of denial about what was before my very eyes. Donizetti managed to upstage the Director! Yes, he did! The Director did his worst, but he couldn't take Donizetti down!
