Ah, lo veggio, quell'anima bella Topi Lehtipuu Salzburgo 2009

[PosasPizza]

Hey, very nice!

Wasn`t the hole cast ill, that night? I only read that Persson was ill and a few singers had a cold...

But I like this cast and the hole production. The best thing was the moonwalk from Petibon.

That is really surprising! I thought everyone sounded great, and Persson and Lehtipuu had improved quite a bit from 2006. I saw Leonard in Don Giovanni at the Met and got to meet her - she is in fantastic voice, beautiful, and just my boyfriend's type...haha. I've never heard Boesch before, but he's great aside from possibly blending in too much. I never liked  Skovhus (sp?) much, but he's a perfect Alfonso. And Petibon might be my favorite Despina.

Miah and Lehtipuu sound great and yes, they do have improved since 2006!!! Miah controls her lower register a bit better this time (is it just me or...?). They're both great actors, too.

How do you like the production? It is hard not to compare it with the 2006 Glyndebourne version.

[leporello89]

It's hard, but I think that this is an interesting production, with a superb cast!

But Glyndebourne is probably the best Cosi ^^

[DoryViolet]

Yes you're right, Glyndebourne's staging is superb, but this one is also interesting!! Plus Lehtipuu and Miah have improved here since Glyndebourne 2006 I think.

Lehtipuu's singing was uncharacteristically uneven in this first-night performance. His voice sounded tired and a bit coarse at times. (Frankly, I was shocked by this. He is usually very well-tuned.) I hope that it was only a temporary setback, and that in the next several performances he will have smoother runs. .
