The Donizetti Opera Festival in Bergamo continues to present early works by Donizetti that have been unjustly neglected for decades.
Alfredo il Grande, a love story that explores the defeat of the invading Danish army by the victorious Britons, was first performed in 1823 and was revived in this production two centuries later. Skillfully orchestrated, it features memorable arias for the hero Alfredo and a superb concluding rondo for the heroine Amalia, as well as a radiant quintet.
The opera is heard here in Edoardo Cavalli’s 2021 critical edition. Gramophone called it “a vocally accomplished performance” and “a fine revival.”
