Anne Boleyn by Donizetti, L 07 sept 2013, Alates (2013/2013), Juhatatud Alessandro Talevi, Dirigent Daniele Rustioni, Andrew Greenwood, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, United Kingdom

Anne is the original Boleyn girl. Few figures in British history have dominated the imaginations of writers, painters and film directors quite like her. Donizetti’s re-imagining of Anne’s final days in the scheming court of Henry VIII is a touching one. It is a portrait of an innocent stranded in a nest of vipers. You will find it hard not to care deeply for her. Director Alessandro Talevi’s production will highlight personalities over pageantry, and what personalities! Anna Bolena is an exhilarating jewel of bel canto opera filled with poignant arias and moving duets waiting to be discovered by you.
