La Sonnambula
[ send me this paper ]
( 5 pp) La Sonnambula (1831)is one of Vincenzio Bellini's (1801-1835)top three operas among the listening audience, and in tone is certainly the most light-hearted. This is not to cancel in any way the vocal pyro-technics of the bel canto tradition, which appears in this performance. The performers are not power-driven, as one might find on larger stages, but complement this simple story, and yet maintain a liveliness that is true to the more dramatic nuances of Bellini's other works.
