Verdi: Don Carlo (OA1128D)<br /> <br /> Ramón Vargas (Don Carlo); Svetlana Kasyan (Elizabeth); Ildar Abdrazakov (Filippo II); Ludovic Tézier (Rodrigo); Daniela Barcelona (Princess Eboli); Marco Spotti (Grand Inquisitor); Roberto Tagliavini (Un Frate); Orchestra & Chorus of Teatro Regio Torino; Gianandrea Noseda<br /> <br /> Verdi’s late historical masterpiece never saw a more lavish staging than in Hugo de Ana’s monumental production shared between the Teatro Real (Madrid) and Turin Opera. Filmed in high-definition by RAI in April 2013 (to mark the 40th anniversary of the rebuilding of the Teatro Regio), the visual spectacle was complemented by an all-star international cast that was led by the great Mexican tenor Ramón Vargas in the title role. Widely-accepted as now the top Italian opera ensemble, the Teatro Regio Orchestra, under its distinguished maestro Gianandrea Noseda, gave the production faultless musical support.
