Teatro La Fenice 2023-24 Review: Ariadne auf Naxos

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-2023-24-review-ariadne-auf-naxos/

(Photo: ©Michele Crosera) Teatro La Fenice was transformed into a palace of playfulness and passion for Strauss’s “Ariadne auf Naxos.” The last time I saw this opera was in 2011 at the Met and in that space, I felt, there was just too much space. Therefore, to experience “Ariadne auf Naxos” in a more intimate space such as La Fenice {…}

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-2023-24-review-bajazet/

(Photo: Michele Crosera) Having laughed, smiled and clapped its way through the opening night of Teatro La Fenice’s production of Vivaldi’s “Bajazet,” the audience greeted the artists at the final curtain with warm applause. However, it was not a reaction shared by everyone; the final notes had barely been played before some members of the audience were beating their way {…}

Teatro La Fenice 2024 Review: Don Giovanni

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-2024-review-don-giovanni/

(Photo credit: Michele Crosera) Having seen more versions of “Don Giovanni” than there are sands on the beach, I can attest that the greatness of the opera is seldom undermined by a less than optimum staging. However, when the staging is good—or even great—, one feels that there is no better opera than “Don Giovanni.” The revival of Damiano Michieletto’s {…}

Teatro La Fenice Review 2024: Mefistofele

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-review-2024-mefistofele/

After leaving the premiere of La Fenice’s production of “Mefistofele,” I dried two little tears from my eyes and, in a burst of emotion, was possessed by one thought: how underrated Boito is. Usually relegated merely to the place of the fanciest of Verdi’s librettists, Boito was much more. His works extend from a few musical pieces to many (untranslated {…}

Teatro La Fenice 2024 Review: Verdi’s ‘Requiem’

https://operawire.com/teatro-la-fenice-2024-review-verdis-requiem/

I will never die. But when if I do—certainly after 2300—, I want to be mourned with Verdi’s “Requiem.” No discussion. Few musical moments are more rewarding than the first tenor “Kyrie,” breaking into the orchestral mass, abashing any feelings that are not of heroic repentance. I simply love it. However, such strong personal preference creates rigid expectations of how {…}
