some operas I have seen on videoGiuseppe Verdi, Attila (1846)
libretto by Temistocle Solera
Opernfestspiele Heidenheim, 2025
- Conductor: Marcus Bosch
- Director: Matthias Piro
- Set & Costume Designer: Lisa Moro
- Attila: Robert Pomakov
- Odabella: Leah Gordon
The actions of the year 450 or so, fitted unevenly to a grab-bag of modern political references. Like the opera itself, this Attila has its moments but is overall something of a mess. The singers and orchestra acquit themselves well throughout.
