Donizetti- Anna Bolena -Blu-ray-

Product Description Wiener Staatsoper production of Gaetano Donizetti's opera, conducted by Evelino Pid. Anna Netrebko takes on the role of Anna Bolena, or Ann Boleyn, gradually driven over the edge of insanity by the philandering of her husband, Henry VIII. Elina Garanca, Ildebrando D'Arcangelo and Francesco Meli also star. Review The Russian soprano sings the role of the unjustly accused second wife of British King Henry VIII, `veering between indignant fury and tender righteousness' and demonstrating a new level of confidence in her technique with excellent `passagework, particularly in trills, and seamless runs even to the lowest notes' -- Opera News
