Best reviews of 🛒 The Maid Of Orleans – Bolshoi Opera DVD – Alexander Lazarev , Oleg Kulko 👏

Tchaikovsky opera The Maid of Orleans is not often performed and recordings are rare. This production at The Bolshoi Opera was recorded to commemorate the centenary of Tchaikovsky’s death in 1893. The Maid of Orleans is famous for its magnificent crowd scenes processions court ceremony and battle scenes. Boris Pokrovsky’s vintage Bolshoi staging with magnificent sets by Valery Levental potently mixes realism and symbolism in this story of Joan of Arc. The Bolshoi Opera’s all-Russian cast is enhanced by the exceptionally talented soprano Nina Rautio in the title role. Her interpretations are notable not only for her outstanding voice technique and emotional commitment but also for her exquisite musicianship
