Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - I really wanted to like this ...
Knowing the story behind Maniaci's brutal experience of having to learn this entire work in about two weeks before performing it, I honestly wanted to like it much, much more than I did.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Masterpiece? No. But touched with greatness
This opera marks a turning point in two ways. It sets the direction for Italian opera after Rossini and it's international success leads to Meyerbeer's Paris operas. Indebted to Rossini, yes - but it in a distinct voice - Meyerbeer's. It's a leaner Meyerbeer than Paris - no "effects without causes" here, although the plot is not the finest. Not much action. More about revelations between characters. But it is not just istorically interesting. It offers many delights during it's Wagnerian length. Act ... Read More
