Rossini, Gioachino: Armida – Vlaamse Opera

Armida (Oper in 3 Akten) (Gesamtaufnahme)
Sinfonia
Lieto, ridente oltre l’usato (1. Akt)
Sì, guerrieri
Germano, a te richiede
Signor, tanto il tuo nome

Cedei, guerrieri, è ver
Non soffrirò l’offesa

Fuggite inferni mostri
Soavi catene
O mio Rinaldo
In quale aspetto imbelle
Dov’è?… dove si cela?
Se al mio crudel tormento

Add Armida wearing Marilyn’s pink satin dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and it’s a visual mess.

Alberto Zedda conducts with his usual Rossinian correctness and sympathy for his cast but the performance doesn’t take off. Carmen Romeu’s soprano doesn’t help: she looks good, but the role sits uncomfortably in her voice and things get squally in the upper register. Low on vocal thrills, we can at least say she has the …
