ottorino reSpighi
Best-known for his brilliantly evocative and rightly popular trilogy of tone-poems on rome, italian composer ottorino respighi (1879 – 1936) was also a noted composer of operas. his gloriously lyrical and opulently orchestrated adaptation of gerhart hauptmann’s fin de siècle allegory Die versunkene Glocke (The Sunken Bell), the opera La campana sommersa is respighi’s operatic masterpiece – a magical, if ultimately tragic, tale of the love between a mortal human and an immortal fairy.
the teatro lirico di cagliari enjoys a worldwide reputation for championing such rediscovered rarities and Pier Francesco maestrini’s “brilliant production … succeeds in entrapping its audience in a magical play of lighting and special effects, leading them through a hypnotic succession of mysterious woods, lunar landscapes, underwater worlds, and mountains inhabited by witches, fauns and other fantastical creatures” (OperaClick.com). the beautiful picturesque sets and projections are by spanish set designer Juan guillermo nova.
As enrico, the Faustian bellfounder, who finds visionary inspiration in his love for the fairy rautendelein, but as a result loses his wife, his children and, finally, his own life, sicilian tenor Angelo Villari “shows total mastery of every difficulty in respighi’s vocal writing”, while, as the fascinating fairy herself, romanian soprano Valentina Farcas “convinces one with her involving stage presence, the security of her intonation and the sweetness of her tone” (L’ape musicale). to top it all, donato renzetti “conducts magnificently and the orchestra sounds magnificent too” (La Stampa).
