3Mameli and Breuer shine in Mozart’s vibrant score. Elisa was played by Elisabeth Breuer, who put in a compelling performance. Like Mameli, she developed the character with skill and intelligence, transitioning from a naïve, happy, and open young girl to a more mature woman, who has experienced emotional pain. She possesses a beautiful crystalline soprano, with a clear, piercing top end and a sparkling coloratura, which was marvelously displayed during her aria, “Barbaro! oh Dio mi vedo…,” in which she rages at Agenore, who refuses her permission to see Aminta. It was a strident performance, which nicely captured her increasing anger; her phrasing crafted to reflect her emotional state, her coloratura used to her highlight her spiraling anxiety in an energetic and engaging performance, yet one that never strayed beyond the gentle nature of her character.
Die Koloraturen stiegen in siegessichere Höhen auf, glasklar und unglaublich gut. Eine Glanzbesetzung.
