Description:

An unfair reputation is now overturned! Verdi's only opera buffa, "The King for a Day", on video for the first time! With Japanese subtitles! Verdi's only opera buffa, "The King for a Day," is now available for the first time on film! Verdi wrote only one opera buffa in his lifetime, his second opera, "The King for a Day". Moreover, its premiere in 1840 was a terrible flop, and it was cancelled after only one night. Also, because of Verdi's serious and stubborn nature, the tragic loss of his daughter in 1838, his son in 1839, and his wife in 1840 while "The King for a Day" was being composed, and the fact that Verdi did not touch comedy for over half a century until "Falstaff" in his later years The King for a Day" was branded as a failure that Verdi composed out of spite, and until recently, it was treated as a bad work in all Verdi commentary books.However, toward the end of the 20th century, when the buried opera buffas of Rossini and Donizetti were revived one after another and became popular, the "King for a Day" was also reevaluated as a surprisingly enjoyable work, rather than a bad piece as it has been said. However, it was rarely performed, and there were only two CDs, one in 1951 (50 years after Verdi's death) and the other in 1973, with no video of the performance. A video of the Verdi Festival in Parma would be greatly appreciated. In this opera, the leading men and women are mezzo-sopranos and baritones. The Marquise de Poggio is Anna Caterina Antonacci, known as a beautiful and accomplished mezzo-soprano. Guido LoConcorsolo, the knight Belfiore, is a young Italian baritone who made his debut in 2003. He is perfect for the second half, specializing in the belle chore from Donizetti's "The Strange Medicine of Love. Incidentally, he is the husband of Georgian soprano Nino Machaise.The young couple is a soprano and tenor. Alessandra Marianelli, Giulietta, is a young Italian soprano, born in 1986 and still in her mid-20s. But she has already made her debut in 2002, and in 2007 she sang the heroine in "The Turks of Italy" at the Rossini Opera Festival, all at a young age. Edoardo's Ivan Magri is a young tenor born in Catania, Sicily in 2007. He is already popular for his passionate singing, very typical of southern Italy, and sang Alfredo in "Traviata" at the Macerata Festival in the summer of 2012. The conductor is Donato Renzetti, a veteran conductor born in 1950. He is a conductor who also specializes in opera buffa by Rossini and Donizetti. The production by maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi is, as always, beautiful in its sense of design and use of color. Japanese subtitles are included, which is appreciated only for the first time on video.
