No giusta causa!

Dimitra Theodossiou and Ramón Vargas, Lombardi, Firenze 2005


Dimitra Theodossiou sang Giselda in "I Lombardi alla Prima Crociata" at the San Carlo di Napoli earlier tonight.

Next to Dimitra: Tito Beltrán (you-know-who), Ruggero Raimondi (replacing Erwin Schrott who couldn't make it-again), Fabio Sartori and Maurizio Benini at the podium.

Italian Radio 3 has broadcast live the performance and it was a great performance indeed (yes, i' ve heard how Ruggero Raimondi sounded like, ok, he' s 67 y.o. for God's sake!).

Just to take a glimpse, here is Dimitra Theodossiou singing one of the most beautiful and most difficult pages in opera history...

"No! No giusta causa!"
