Rossini: La donna del lago

Rossini: La donna del lago

First staged in Naples in 1819, Rossini’s opera La donna del lago is based on Walter Scott’s romantic poem The Lady of the Lake, setting a precedent for later composers, who also drew on Scott for their plots. Set in exotic 16th century Scotland, the opera deals with the conflict between the Highland clansmen under Douglas and King James V, who generously forgives his enemy and allows the betrothal of his beloved Ellen, Douglas’s daughter, to his former enemy, Malcolm.

What changed everything in the public opinion, was the arrival of Marilyn Horne as a Rossini singer. She added to the scrupulous musicianship of her predecessors a vocal freedom and virtuosity that made Rossini’s leading characters more exciting than anybody realised they could be. She never recorded the complete role of Angelina in the studio, which make this live recording of La Cenerentola something of a rarity
