As an Englishman, I'm always flattered when ensembles from countries with a much richer seventeenth-century baroque musical culture than mine turn their attention to Purcell. This was a great production, many, many thanks - such a pity that the times we live in meant that the applause the performance so richly deserved could not be forthcoming - but the end was managed with dignity laced (I think) with an appropriate amount of good humour. Greetings and best wishes from the wintry Vale of York.

What a beautiful perfomance!! I am very touched!! Beautiful music.  What a sadness the lack of applause, from the depth of my heart I send mine.

This is the first time I have seen & heard this opera, every single person involved in this production have reached stellar heights, an absolute tour de force, I thank you all for making an old man happy.

E' stato bellissimo, peccato davvero non essere stati lì di persona!! Grazie mille e ottimo lavoro! Surreale e triste vedere i saluti di attori, cantanti, musicisti e direttore di orchestra senza gli applausi del pubblico.
Sperando di tornare presto a teatro... ad maiora!

[TheresaNelson]

An amazing performance, beautifully sung. And the silent bows at the end were very moving.

[anastasia]

Thank you so much for uploading this!! And a huge thank you to the people who made this happen!!
P.S. There was very long applause on my part in the end!!❤

I had the pleasure to see this opera live at the university I studied at. It was the last well-funded productions as the main benefactor left the university after that year. A true shame. The student opera was used to premeire the best of the vocalist undergrads as well as alumni that had gone on to join the Metropolitan or the Santa Fe opera company.

[barbaranorthwood]

A very impressive production. Thank you very much.

[paolathomas]

BELLISSIMO! Applausi da casa! Anche al bravissimo coro ...

[saccaromicetto]

Che meraviglia, bravissimi! Grazie, grazie, grazie! Spero di poter essere lì, la prossima volta, a colmare con le mie mani il silenzio che vi ha accolto in quest infausta occasione.

[johnhughes]

Wonderful production, singing and playing. Thank you

[michelegiovetti]

Meraviglioso!!!! Esecuzione splendida. Sto piangendo tantissimo. Gli ultimi minuti sono veramente commoventi.

[liricavideo]

Agghiaccianti gli applausi finali... spettacolo bellissimo

[iraismedrano]

Esta versión sí será legendaria... además lo vivido en pandemia, también quedará en la memoria de todos quienes lo vivimos, Bravo 👏

[MixerTWS]

Thank you, Opera Streaming, for this and all your other uploads - especially last month's excellent Traviata.

[OriginalTsipoura]

The silent at the end really broke my heart!!!! so sad!!! couldnt the orchestra perhaps make some noise? but I guess they had a point!! congratulations to all of you!!!

[davidgurarie]

Great performance - staging, singing, acting! The only missing part was grand applause, they truly deserve. Let's hope they will get a chance to stage it to live audience, to much applause. Thanks, TEATRO COMUNALE LUCIANO PAVAROTTI MODENA
