Opera Rara
Rossini: La donna del lago (Opera Rara)
(Déjà Review) Sets the gold standard for recorded performances of this work [RJF]
Mercadante: Orazi e Curiazi (Opera Rara)
The best of a composer forever doomed to dwell in Verdi’s shadow, performed by a first-rate cast and starring the great Nelly Miricioiu [RMo]
Donizetti: L’esule di Roma (Opera Rara)
An opera overlooked for far too long is presented in the best possible light [MC]
Donizetti: Elvida (Opera Rara)
(Déjà Review) I strongly recommend all lovers of the composer’s music and the bel canto genre to add it to their collections [RJF]
Mercadante: Il proscritto (Opera Rara)
Neglected for almost 200 years, but undoubtedly worthy of its revival [MC]
Rossini: Elisabetta regina d’Inghilterra (Opera Rara)
An interesting alternative to the older Philips set, with another excellent cast [RMo]
Offenbach: Robinson Crusoé (Opera Rara)
A splendid way to explore some of the composer’s lesser-known operettas [MC]
Leoncavallo: Zingari (Opera Rara)
An all-round excellent effort to document a forgotten opera that likely won’t be returning to the stage anytime soon [MP]
