Umberto Giordano’s exhilarating drama returns to the Met repertory
for the first time in 25 years. Packed with memorable melodies,
showstopping arias, and explosive confrontations, FEDORA REQUIRES A
CAST OF THRILLING VOICES TO TAKE FLIGHT, and the Met’s new
production promises to deliver.Soprano Sonya Yoncheva, one of
today’s most riveting artists, sings the title role of the
19th-century Russian princess who falls in love with her fiancé’s
murderer, Count Loris, sung by star tenor Piotr Beczała. Soprano Rosa
Feola is the Countess Olga, Fedora’s confidant, and baritone Artur
Ruciński is the diplomat De Siriex, with much-loved Met maestro
Marco Armiliato conducting.
Director David McVicar delivers a detailed and dramatic staging based
around an ingenious fixed set that, like a Russian nesting doll,
unfolds to reveal the opera’s three distinctive settings—a palace
in St. Petersburg, a fashionable Parisian salon, and a picturesque
villa in the Swiss Alps.
