About

This opera, which is one of Rossini’s most sumptuous and ornate, tells of Bianca’s love (Majella Cullagh) for Falliero (Jennifer Larmore) and Bianca’s struggle to resist her father’s attempts to marry her to Capellio (Ildebrando D’Arcangelo). Jennifer Larmore the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano sings with Opera Rara for the first time. The difficult part holds no terrors for Miss Larmore who possesses one of the most agile voices before the public today. Majella Cullagh takes no vocal prisoners, sailing fearlessly through page after page of difficult music with the greatest of ease. This is a first collaboration between Opera Rara and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. With an excellent compliment of supporting artists, this fascinating addition to Opera Rara’s Rossini list is conducted by David Parry.
