She simply could not quite hold her own in this all-star production and came across, undeservedly perhaps, as only adequate. On the other hand, the performance of the most venerable member of the line-up, the legendary Verdian bass-baritone Ruggero Raimondi, demonstrated both the advantages and pitfalls of experience.
The year-old singer appeared in a role with a significantly lower tessitura than those he performed in his early years. Yet, unencumbered by the customary technical fireworks, Mr Raimondi was free to unleash his impressive dramatic talent, arguably more important than vocal prowess in the role of villainous Duke Alfonso. It was an honor to watch the old master at work.
Unfortunately, on that front I have few laurel wreaths to award. Mr Domingo did a good job as a conductor, and the orchestra sounded better than the last time I heard it in La traviata , but that is a very low bar to hurdle.
In comparison with the level of artistry displayed by the singers and the director-designer in this production, the orchestral performance was barely passable, and I wish Mr Domingo, as the artistic director as well as conductor of the Washington National Opera could do something to improve a situation that surely cannot satisfy him.
Other than that, Lucrezia is a world-class production, and the company is to be congratulated on its well-deserved success. Washington National Opera. Director: John Pascoe.
