Truly brilliant La Gioconda
La Gioconda is a new discovery for me and while it is not among my favorite operas,this 1979 San Francisco Opera production is truly good. Sets and costumes do look lovely and they are a great sight to behold. Renata Scotto was previously amazing Lucia,Violetta,Mimi and Desdemona and here she is in great voice and acting wise as La Gioconda. Enzo and Laura are performed beautifully by Luciano Pavarotti and Stefania Toczyska. Norman Mittelman has a big task of playing Barnaba ,one of the nastiest characters in all opera(his role in La Gioconda is his wish to posess Gioconda and also death of Enzo and Laura). His final lines at dead Gioconda are truly awful and Mittelman succeeds in that final scene. Overall,amazing La Gioconda.10/10.
