Sul podio Fabio Maestri alla guida dell’Orchestra del Festival Puccini. Questo era in origine il progetto per far trascorrere una piacevole serata con una serie di arie, un paio di duetti, un quartetto e qualche pezzo strumentale.
Now, it's worth saying right away, it was a huge success. Alberto Veronesi clearly conducted the excellent orchestra of the Puccini Festival and the choir, expertly prepared by Roberto Ardigò, performed very well as during the entire season just concluded and together with this team, the children's voices of Viviana Apicella. Donata d'Annunzio Lombardi was the winner of the evening, with a masterful display of vocal technique. Already from the first notes it was clear how much the singer was at ease in the texture and in the character, nevertheless during the show she built a memorable performance, always in crescendo of intensity crowned by a cathartic ending and splendidly resolved in the pitfalls of a writing vocal as fascinating as it is difficult. Donata d'Annunzio Lombardi then demonstrated that she has an excellent hand and a sure eye in staging
"Francesco Napoleoni (Goro), è tecnicamente corretto sia nel canto sia nella recitazione, scevra di macchiettismi".
Bravo come al solito, ma forse mai bravo come in questa occasione Francesco Napoleoni, Goro preciso e ricco di sfumature.
Bene il resto del cast dove spicca il "bravo" Spoletta di Francesco Napoleoni
