Directed by Luca Ronconi
Milano: Teatro alla Scala

Mara Zampieri is rivetting from first appearance until her departure from California to who knows where, totally different from her extraordinary assumption of the chilling Lady Macbeth in the admired Sinopoli/Ronconi DVD on Arthaus Musik. A dramatic soprano who gets right inside her roles. She has a still authority and presence here with a voice which stamps her as a great artist; all are in good voice and we found ourselves playing it straight through, not our invariable practice at home - another fine night at the opera. Very strongly recommended.
