Le Willis

Description

The recording of Le Villi by Opera Rara offers listeners the chance to hear Puccini's first opera as it has not been heard in over 120 years. Based on the new Ricordi edition, Sir Mark Elder conducts a star-studded cast that brings back the acclaimed soprano Ermonela Jaho for her second recording with Opera Rara and features the captivating Armenian tenor Arsen Soghomonyan. This recording includes the two famous arias added to the revised two-act version of Le Villi and showcases the young, prodigiously talented composer in his first exploration of lyrical drama.
