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!"
AND
Dimitra Theodossiou
Live in Naples
