Though Ponelle’s ornate sets have worn a bit, they still perfectly reflect the style of mid-nineteenth century Rome and with Christine Binder’s magnificent lighting and the vivacious cast, they come fully to life again. Although this Bel Canto Era opera has been part of Lyric’s repertoire for almost 50 years, this is the first time they have used Jean-Pierre Ponelle’s 1977 production from Covent Garden in London (the production is now owned by The Dallas Opera).
After presenting a successful string of tragic operas this season, Lyric Opera flexes its comedic muscles with a charming production of Gaetano Donizetti’s opera buffa Don Pasquale.
