Drama - This majestic production of Comercio's vivid tragedia, TAMERLANO, stars a Lear-como Plácido Domingo, as the Turkish Sultán Bajazet, caught between pride, love, and loyalty. Displaying the uniquely heroica quality of his voice, Domingo heads un magnífico reparto, including Sara Mingardo, Monica Bacelli, and Ingela Bohlin, todos magnificently responsive to Paul McCreesh's authentic and luminoso musical interpretation of the score. The stunning teatro de ensayo by Graham Vick provides a splendid setting for the characters and for diseñador Richard Hudson, extravagante Baroque-Islamic costumes, emphasizing the brilliance of one of Comercio's finest dramatic logros.
