Stefana, a beautiful young girl, is taken in by her former lover, the gigolo Gurebi, who has taken her from a poor seamstress to a life of luxury in the company of the aristocrat Prince Alexis. Vassili, a simple-minded infantry officer, is Stefana's lover and unknowingly visits her at her mansion. When Prince Alexis learns of their relationship, he strikes Vassili, and the latter shoots and kills him. Stefana follows Vassili to Siberia, where she is captured and sent to a Siberian penal colony. After several years, the two atone for their sins in Siberia when they meet Grevi, who has been sent to Siberia for another crime... The opera \"Siberia\" is based on the script of a tragic love story set in a Siberian penal colony, written by Luigi Illica, and performed by Giordano. The opera \"Siberia\" is based on a tragic love story set in a Siberian penal colony written by Luigi Illica, and Giordano composed music with a tense orchestration in the vein of verismo operas and Russian choral music (\"Czar's Hymn,\" \"The Volga Boat Song,\" etc.).First performed at La Scala in Milan in 1903, the music was reportedly highly praised by Gabriel Fauré, who saw a performance of this work in Paris in 1905. Robert And's staging of this production shifts the period from 19th century imperial Russia to 20th century Soviet Russia, and the stage backdrop is a unique one that evokes a cold Siberian penal colony through the use of alternate scenery and projected images of the crowds. The role of Stefana is sung by Sonya Yoncheva, a soprano who has been highly acclaimed for her abilities in recent years. She sings the role of the passionate heroine with great skill. Tenor Georgi Struer sings the role of Vasili, the pure-hearted lover, with a beautiful voice that is full of extension, and baritone Georges Petéan, who plays the role of Glebi, leaves a strong impression with his well-rounded villainous performance. In addition to the excellent singers, Noseda, who leads the orchestra and chorus of the Florence May Festival, brings out a variety of sounds from Giordano's score to dramatically depict this opera.
