Director Arin Arbus presents an opulent spectacle with moments of quiet despair in what The Globe and Mail calls “a piece of intimate theatre.” One of the most acclaimed maestros of his generation, Paoli Carignani conducts an unforgettable score brimming with lyrical beauty, from the exuberance of the “Brindisi” to the opera’s heartbreaking finale.
