Awards and reviews

12th December 2013

The music is not perhaps all memorable or vintage Donizetti but there are inevitably some lovely things...Harnisch has a big, rounded tone with considerable power up top. She makes much of her arias, singing expressively and and with confidence...by and large this is a fine provincial performance expertly conducted by Paulo Carignani.

Opera Now

Paolo Carignani leads a brisk performance. George Petean is a noble Duc and Ismael Jordi’s Henri is effective; best of all is Rachel Harnisch’s fluent Hélène, confidently and elegantly voiced and dramatically exciting
