Description:

Session recording with soloist in the audience. Staatskapelle Dresden's "La Traviata" with the world's hottest lyric coloratura soprano Lisette Oropesa as Violetta is now available on SACD hybrid disc! The Staatskapelle Dresden and the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Daniel Oren, with a stellar cast including lyric coloratura soprano Lisette Oropesa as Violetta, René Barbera as Alfredo, and Lester Lynch as Germont. Verdi's opera "La Traviata" was recorded! The setting of "La Traviata" is Parisian society. This opera in three acts depicts the single-minded love and sad fate of Violetta, a high-class prostitute who is famous in the world of the night, and unfolds with a striking melody and dramatic tempo. As the tragedy unfolds, Violetta changes from her coloratura virtuosity to a more lyrical and dramatic idiom, and Oropesa's interpretation of Violetta's emotions is truly outstanding. The recording was made in Dresden in March 2021. Due to the Corona disaster, the soloist was placed in the audience and the onstage orchestra was in social distance.This new recording is a welcome addition to the already excellent Pentatone recording team of Job Maalse and Eldo Goult, who are well-known for their work with Pentatone.
