Celebrated conductor RICHARD BONYNGE returns to North America for Bellini's La Sonnambula at the Florida Grand Opera.
Celebrated conductor RICHARD BONYNGE returned to North America this month for Bellini's La Sonnambula at the Florida Grand Opera. The maestro led a masterful performance, bringing his world-renowned knowledge of bel canto to Miami audiences at the new Carnival Performing Arts Center.
Lawrence A. Johnson in the Miami Herald wrote:
"More than any single factor, the evening's success was due in no small part to having the estimable Richard Bonynge in the pit. A long and experienced veteran in bel canto repertoire from his celebrated partnership with his wife, Dame Joan Sutherland, Bonynge's natural command brought out all the elegance, lyric beauty and vivacity of Bellini's score masterfully. The conductor also drew consistently refined and idiomatic playing from the Florida Classical Orchestra, whose strings in particular sound better with every outing."
The maestro continues his busy calendar with performances of Il barbiere di Siviglia in Melbourne (March-May) then in Sydney (June-July). (February 2007)
