Ariadne
auf Naxos (Strauss)
VAI DVD 4363, $34.95
Beverly Sills, in the role of Zerbinetta, triumphs over the formidable
challenges of perhaps the most difficult coloratura role ever written,
and Claire Watson is ideal in the title role of Ariadne in this
latest installment in VAI’s series of historic telecasts
from the archives of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This legendary
1969 concert performance marked the US premiere of the original
1912 version of the opera. The orchestra is under the direction
of the BSO’s Music Director Erich Leinsdorf, and the cast
also includes Robert Nagy, John Reardon, Benita Valente, Carole
Bogard, and James Billings. 93 minutes, Color, with subtitles in
English, French, German, and Italian.
