Ezio = Leo Nucci
Odabella = Mara Zampieri
Foresto = Boiko Zvetanov
Uldino = Miroslav Christoff
Leone, alter Römer
[Papst Leo I.] = Guido Götzen

Vladimir Fedoseyev, conductor



Attila at 20.00, during and after Andrea Chenier I had a bit of a head-ache, but to my amazement, I found out that a GREAT opera performance can cure that.

Ruggero Raimondi, was a great Attila, but Nesterenko was better in the video from Verona, I think. Mara Zampieri has the most beautiful voice, and sang the difficult and vocally demanding role of Odabella, in the most exquisite way. Leo Nucci was much better than I would have thought possible for him. Boiko Zwetlanov was as good as anyone singing Forest.

Manfred Honeck, conductor



Sunday at 1400 the opera was Andrea Chenier, a revelation of a soprano Gabriele lechner, a beautifully sung Maddalena, the Andrea Chenier of the day was Giuseppe Giacomini, was a disappointment, but the "old guy" Giorgio Zancanaro was a much better Gerard than in the video from Covent Garden with Plácido. The regie was genial, the "lights" told a sweet love-story before the Improvviso and during Fleville's romanza.

Great choreography and acting, all the singers and chorus.
