Verdi (1813-1901)

Description:

Based on Byron's play about the real-life Venetian governor Francesco Foscari and his son in the early 15th century, the opera "The Two Foscari," written by Verdi from a libretto by Piave, is a masterpiece that demands high expressiveness and singing technique in the major roles. The master singer Vladimir Stoyanov (father Foscari) and the rising star tenor Stefan Popp (son Foscari), who is attracting attention on the world opera scene, are the core of the cast, with Giacomo Prestia (political rival Loredano) and Maria Catsalava (Lucrezia) providing the true-to-life singing, and the Italian opera's Paolo Arrivabeni, a master of Italian opera, beautifully spins the passionate music of the young Verdi.
