Linda Di Chamounix July 21, 2007

Linda di Chamounix is remembered today mostly for one brilliant soprano aria, but the whole opera held the stage consistantly for over half a century after its 1842 Vienna premiere. Donizetti had recently won the coveted post of Kapellmeister in that city, and Linda was written in full consciousness of its rich symphonic traditions, with overtones of Schubert and Mendelssohn mingling with Donizetti's familiar melodic fluency and dramatic immediacy. Caramoor has the honor of presenting the world premiere of Ricordi's new critical edition of the score, including some music not heard since 1842.

This production will be semi-staged with English super titles
