About

Verdi's I Lombardi alla prima crociata (1843) is one of his least known operas, offering effective choral scenes and a wealth of catchy melodies. Moreover, in 1847 the composer considered I Lombardi worthy to rework it for Paris into a Grand Opéra according to French taste, which was even translated back into Italian because of its great success. The 'Lombards', written immediately after Nabucco, now live a shadowy existence even among Verdi's early operas. Marcus Bosch once again offers us the opportunity to revise many prejudices against Verdi’s early works.

Awards and reviews

October 2019

Most impressive of the principals is Pavel Kudinov’s Pagano, amply suggesting the out-and-out villain of Act 1 before developing further as the Hermit of later scenes. Kate Allen registers as a lively presence as Sofia, Anna Werle defines Viclinda in her forceful soprano and Daniel Dropulja is noticeable in the secondary role of Pirro.
