Gaetano Donizetti: Carmela Rem (CD)

Conductor Fabrizio Maria Carminati and Director and costume designer Francesco Esposito present this Donizettian masterpiece, recorded live in 2001. This very high quality production by Teatro Donizetti di Bergamo features Carmela Remigio (Maria Stuarda) and Sonia Ganassi (Elisabetta)in the roles of the two queens, making a fine display of their excellent vocal and acting skills. Francesco Esposito's direction and costumes, and Italo Grassi's sets are very effective and superbly highlighted by the filming.
