Giuseppe Verdi's "I Vespri Siciliani" epitomizes the elegant style of the Paris Opera. Set in Sicily at the twilight of the French occupation, the opera swirls with intimate ensembles, splendid public scenes, and heroic public choruses. Under the direction of Riccardo Muti, the La Scala orchestra delivers a blazing tour de force in the large ensemble scenes and sensitive intimacy to the quieter moments. An excellent cast features soprano Cheryl Studer as Elena and tenor Chris Merritt as Arrigo. In this extraordinary La Scala production, the rarely seen third-act "Ballet of the Four Seasons" is superbly danced by superstars Carla Fracci and Wayne Eagling. *Viewer Reviews* NOTE: Be sure to buy the less expensive release now available (I just bought this one at more than twice the other's price...!!!). This is a rich rich melodic feast sung by wonderful voices...particularly the baritone and bass. Contrary to other reviews here,I don't worry about costumes or production details unless they are egregious...and these are fine, perfectly acceptable. I also don't worry about DVD extras -- I buy for the music and the singing and in those qualities this DVD and this opera are first rate. A delicious banquet of opera meat and potatoes, and delightful bons bons to boot. Back To Top
