Mirella Freni embodies Fedora’s character with enormous authority. Her acting is not only brilliant, her great personality on the stage adds an extra dimension to the whole opera, which stands or falls with the protagonist’s role. This time it stands! Although, I have to mention that by 1993, Freni’s voice had lost much of its freshness. Her vibrato gets wobbly at times, her projection a little forced. Plácido Domingo’s performance is one of great conviction; dignified, but at the same time lush and abundant. His singing is marvelously concentrated and ideally suited for this music. The rest of the cast is very satisfying as well; to name just a few: Silvia Mazzoni as the young boy Dimitri, and Alessandro Corbelli as De Siriex the diplomat.
Gianandrea Gavazzeni keeps control over singers and orchestra with a calm and lyrical Italian hand. The music flows gently out of his baton, and the Scala orchestra responds with warm singing and full-bodied sound. The stage design and costumes are not really breathtaking, rather traditional, but they contribute very well to the “whipped cream and chocolate” atmosphere of the work. -- Bart Verhaeghe, FANFARE ---------------------------------
