Riccardo Zandonai: Francesca Da Rimini
Opera in four acts. Libretto by Tito Ricordi
Greek subtitles
[The venue will last approximately 4 hours]
The Antenna Group with the collaboration of the Thessaloniki Concert Hall and the Athens Concert Hall will present opera productions from the Metropolitan Opera
Zandonai’s early 20th-century melodrama Francesca da Rimini returns to the Met for its first revival in more than 25 years, in Piero Faggioni’s opulent and realistic production. Marco Armiliato conducts Eva-Maria Westbroek in the title role of a noblewoman who is tricked into marrying the brutal Gianciotto, sung by Mark Delavan, instead of her true love Paolo, sung by Marcello Giordani. Robert Brubaker sings the wicked Malatestino, whose jealousy incites a murder.
