OPERA REVIEW Adam Sedia

Opera successfully combines music, drama..
Perhaps above these Stefano Vizioli, the guest stage director, should be congratulated. His role in the success of the opera as a theatrical work was vital. It was chiefly through his efforts that the performers were as much actors as singers and that their stage movements, although carefully planned, seemed natural. Vizioli's work led ultimately to a realistic portrayal of characters, usually sacrificed for the musical element of an opera.
