OPERA NIGHT WITH PAUL HERRIOTT

A Scene from La Gioconda (c) antoni bofill Image Name: A Scene from La Gioconda (c) antoni bofill Description: A Scene from La Gioconda (c) antoni bofill

The rich, dark soprano of Anna Pirozzi embodies all the longing and the terror of the Venetian street singer with a heart of gold. Ildebrando D’Arcangelo is Alvise, the cruel husband whose wife, Laura (Dolora Zajick), is Gioconda’s rival for the affections of Enzo (Brian Jagde). Gabriele Viviani is the conniving Barnaba, determined to have Gioconda at any price. Guillermo García Calvo conducts the Chorus and Orchestra of the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona
