Moshe Leiser & Patrice Caurier (production)
Definitive: Anna Netrebko as Verdi's Joan of Arc in this audaciously imaginative production by Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier.
Historic: The inaugural production of Riccardo Chailly's era as Music Director and the first performance of the opera at La Scala for over 150 years.
"The interpretation makes sense, but rather diminishes the grand scale of the drama…Musically, though, this is breathtaking. Chailly's attention to detail scrubs up an iffy opera into something frequently astounding. The orchestra and chorus are magnificent, and Anna Netrebko as Giovanna is simply a force of nature. Across her huge vocal range and the role's giant proportions, her tone remains powerful and her charisma sweeps all before it." BBC Music
"Superstar Anna Netrebko was a superb Giovanna: her perfect technique allows her to master, apparently effortlessly, the tessitura of the role and to concentrate on her vocal and theatrical interpretation, which she did with great temperamento." TheOperaCritic.com
