Bellini: I Capuleti e i Montecchi: Act I finale (Martina Franca 2006)

Bellini: I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets & the Montagues)

Act I final Quintets ('Soccorso, sostegno', 'Se ogni spemme') from the Martina Franca Festival 2006. La Scala version.

CAST
Romeo = Clara Polito (soprano)
Giulietta = Patrizia Ciofi (soprano)
Tebaldo = Danilo Formaggia (tenor)
Capelio = Federico Sacchi (bass)
Lorenzo = Nicola Amodio (tenor)
Luciano Acocella conducting Orchestra Internazionale d'Italia

...I don't like this version, but must confess... I watch this thing for Ciofi's Giulietta.

If you enjoy this, buy the DVD on Dynamic Italy Label. It's a rarely performed version of the opera.

You spelled Miss Polito's name wrong. It's "Clara".... :)

Nice post BTW! :)

Except Larmore. She is also quite brilliant in this role.

Amodio for president

Patricia Ciofi is perfect as Giulietta (I also liked Valentina Farcas from the Ravenna 2005 staging) but as for Romeo, no one in a few decades will match Kasarova for me. Could we fans perhaps hope for a collaboration of the two..?
