| Summary |
This new release from Opus Arte is a live recording from the Glyndebourne Opera House, Lewes, taken in July of 2015, of the first ever professional UK staging of Donizetti's Poliuto. This masterpiece is rarely performed, but is nevertheless a masterwork that shows the magnanimous genius of this bel canto opera composer. The exhilarating American tenor Michael Fabiano sings the role of Poliuto, and fellow world-class singers Ana Maria Martínez and Igor Golovatenko round out a spectacular cast. |
