This is gorgeous! BRAVA ADRIANA! Lovely timbre, beautiful technique, and stunning interpretation!
This was recently issued on CD. Not to take away from Caballe's 3 recordings of this opera in any way - but Adriana is captivating.
Here's another Donizetti opera - along with Poliuto, Maria di Rohan, Caterina Cornaro, Maria di Rudenz , Linda di Chamounix - and the three Queens - that deserve to be heard more frequently than those usually in the repertoire!
Thanks for posting - this is one of my absolutely favorite operas. How do they stage the ending in this production - does Gemma commit suicide or survives?
Check out the posting from "coloraturafan" of Donizetti's Gemma di Vergy - Opera in 10 minutes - It shows the final scene from this production and it would appear that she just survives ...The "10 minute" posting also has better video quality than this posting. But both are really neat to be able to see.
