This release also offers a bonus disc, headed by a 58 minute documentary giving the story behind Rossini’s opera, as told by members of the cast and the director. “Emilio Sagi's production of Rossini's comedy starts off in black and white, with a hefty moon gleaming down on the streets of old Seville, and ends in colour, with the triumphant lovers lifting off in a balloon. …it's a fun-packed affair… in a staging that respects the spirit and often the letter of the original. Musically, it's an equally scrupulous edition, with conductor Gianluigi Gelmettie presiding over a first-rate chorus and orchestra and delectable principals.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2006 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Luciana Serra as Giulia meets the coloratura demands easily, Alessandro Corbelli plays the role of Germano to the hilt. But possibly the best moments of the opera are the ensembles, razor-edged in precision and bubbling with vitality.”

Cinzia Forte (Lisetta), Bruno Praticò (Don Pomponio Storione), Charles Workman (Alberto), Pietro Spagnoli (Filippo), Agata Bienkowska (Madama La Rose), Marisa Martins (Doralice), Simón Orfila (Monsù Traversen), Marc Canturri (Anselmo) Orchestra Academy of the Gran Teatre del Liceu & Intermezzo Choir, Maurizio Barbacini (conductor) & Dario Fo (stage director) World Premiere - this is the first ever recorded performance of Rossini’s La Gazzetta The Nobel Prize-winning writer Dario Fo applies his inventive genius to Rossini's comic opera in its premiere DVD release. Recorded in 2005 under the musical direction of Maurizio Barbacini, Fo's production brings fresh vitality and colour to the story of Lisetta, and of her father's attempts to find a husband for her through an advertisement in the newspaper La Gazzetta. ‘…a tour de force of acrobatic silliness and barbed social satire. Of the cast, which included the inimitable Bruno Praticò and the lovely Cinzia Forte … it can only be said that it is difficult to imagine the piece sung or acted better.’The Financial Times ‘…ironic and sensual, friendly but with a light taste of satire, La Gazzetta by Rossini has been reborn in this production that has the distinctive stamp of Fo, who has been able to handle with strength the Rossinian chaos without neglecting - and here his major virtue - the music.’ El Periodico de Catalunya PICTURE FORMAT: 16:9
