I like this conductor. This is a very fine cast and a pleasure to hear. Mosuc is very romantic. This is one of the operas I know almost by heart, and it is a joy to hear such a moving performance. Nucci's Rigoletto is one of the great things.
It may be worth noting that, at the time of this performance, Leo Nucci was 63 years old!
ReplyDeleteHe's about the same age as Domingo, I guess. He received a bis at La Scala last year.
