Budget 💯 I Due Foscari – Giuseppe Verdi DVD – Birgit Eger, Daniele Zanfardino 🔥

A staging from the magnificent Teatro San Carlo opera house in Naples sees Leo Nucci formidably cast in the role of the Doge of Venice.The father and son tragedy I Due Foscari premiered in Rome in 1844 has not received as much attention as it deserves. Less opulently orchestrated than some of his preceding operas and with a gloomier story than his other operas it is a jewel in its own right. TDK presents a staging directed by Werner Duggelin one of the most distinguished theatre directors in Europe and choreographed by the superb Heinz Spoerli – both closely associated with the Zurich Opera and Theatre. The story of the conflict between paternal love and the political duties of the Doge of Venice unfolds before a backdrop of the severe facades of classical Venetian architecture symbolising the strict rules that bind the elder Foscari’s decisions.
