Description:

Donizetti's opera "Favorito" (The Favourite), which vividly depicts the loves and hates of real people in 14th century Castile, was first performed at the Paris Opera in 1840, and was later translated into Italian. In this production, the Spanish-born singer Celso Albero showed great acting ability, Simeoni sang with great emotion as Leonor, and Olivieri played the role of King Alphonse, who was troubled by love but maintained his dignity, leaving a strong impression. Olivieri's performance as King Alphonse, who is troubled by love but maintains his dignity, leaves a strong impression. Luigi's baton beautifully completes the intense and beautiful music that pervades the entire production. Naxos Japan
