Singing, music, sets, everything perfect and no professional recording? Franco Fagioli is perfectly suited to this role and I just think it's sad that it wasn't captured in its entirety. Thanks for these videos!
Riccardo Primo will be presented (the American premiere) by Opera Theatre of St. Louis during its 40th festival season in June 2015. We are promised a fine cast (as always with Opera Theatre) and the conductor is the well-known Baroque music expert Christian Curnyn. Robert M. Feibel
I wish British Opera houses would give productions like this, rather than inflicting modern, vulgar and inferior productions as they have in recent years. It's just designers showing off their mediocre talent and trying to make a name for themselves, ruining a great art form in the process. Covent Garden and English National Opera please note. As for Glyndebourne, beyond a joke now. The pinnacle has been reduced to the pits.

That's HOW to sing and stage baroque operas - superb voices, orchestra, costumes and staging
What a sumptuous production! And then there's Fagioli, with his superhuman voice... To be savored again and again.
Stunning!!! Incomparable!!! Absolutely amazing!!!💖
BRAVO Franco Fagioli!!!
6.17 onwards = probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. Simple but gorgeous.
That linger on the E5 - stunning! His level of emotion and technique just thrills me.
one of the best aria ever ... and with Fagioli ...no words
Hermoso, sublime, gran calidad vocal, magnífica interpretación, una voz que enamora
voix absolument sublime.une des plus belles parmi les contre tenors actuels.....merite le qualificatif de voix des anges!
Brava, Franco. A gentle Lionheart in this aria...
Why still no CD or DVD of this glorious production?
💖💖💖💖
Sublime.
I hope this opera hits the East Coast of the US in my lifetime, particularly the Philadelphia Area.
