Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia
Ketevan Kemoklidze (Rosina), Luca Salsi (Figaro), Dmitry Korchak (Il Conte d’Almaviva), Giovanni Furlanetto (Don Basilio) & Bruno Praticò (Bartolo)
Teatro Regio di Parma, Andrea Battistoni (conductor) & Stefano Vizioli (stage director)

The singing and musicianship here is of a high standard and Zanetti conducts with verve...Certain aspects of Pier Luigi Pizzi’s production are good while others are somewhat disappointing. — More…
Verdi: Requiem
Dimitra Theodossiou (soprano), Sonia Ganassi (mezzo), Francesco Meli (tenor), Riccardo Zanellato (bass)
Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Regio di Parma, Yuri Temirkanov

Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Regio di Parma, Andrea Battistoni (conductor) & Guy Montavon (stage director)
The golden timbre of Roberto Aronica graces the title role...His commanding tenor makes one sit up and listen, with some notable long-breathed phrasing and a smooth legato a joy to hear...[Yu... — More…

Francesco Demuro (Il Duca), Leo Nucci (Rigoletto), Nino Machaidze (Gilda), Marco Potti (Sparafucile), Stefanie Iranyi (Maddalena), Roberto Tagliavini (Monterone), Orazio Mori (Marullo), Mauro Buffoli (Borsa)
Teatro Regio di Parma, Massimo Zanetti, Stefano Vizioli
Nucci simply owns the role of Rigoletto...a master-class in vocal acting...Machaidze is the very embodiment of Gilda. Her characterization is simply marvellous...[she] has a lovely full tone... — More…

Teatro Regio di Parma, Gianluigi Gelmetti
It's aptly cast - Francesco Meli's Riccardo with fine legato, Stoyanov an uncommonly civilised Renato whose remorse after the assassination is all the more credible, Samuel and Tom not overdone... — More…
