Performance Notes | Sir Mark Elder conducts Rossinis operatic tragedy, which pushes singers to the limits of expression in recounting the story of Semiramide, Queen of Babylon, and her entrapment in a web of incest and revenge at the behest of her long-lost son.
Vocal athleticism, vivid storytelling and Classical poise combine in Rossinis rarely heard opera, performed in concert. |
