Spontini: Le Metamorphosi di Pasquale

[mikehopf]

I saw this in Venice in January. Lively and tuneful opera a la Rossini but it's an opera that deserves to be seen as well as heard. I look forward to the DVD.

No need to wait for the DVD... the same production is now on youtube. There are a couple of other Spontini rarities there too.
