Pros:

  • This performance captures a glimpse of the golden age of the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Every element of this production is first-rate. This was clearly a community that took its opera seriously.
  • Anselmo Colzani brings ample tone and a noble bearing to the title role.
  • Amy Shuard's imperious Lady Macbeth makes it clear from her entrance who is in charge. She manages the notorious demands of this role with ease, and never lets the technical challenges or dramatic intensity compromise her ravishing tone.
  • The chorus sings with astonishing precision, style and intention.

Cons:

  • As Macduff, Giuseppe Zampieri displays an attractive tone, but issues with pitch mar his performance.
