{"product_id":"amleto-730099045476","title":"Amleto","description":"First performed in 1865, Amleto ('Hamlet') represented a radical new development in Italian opera, the nuovo melodrama. Composer Franco Faccio and his librettist Arrigo Boito sought a greater degree of musical unity in staged productions and a more equal relationship between text and music. In Hamlet, a play that many then considered un-operatic, they found the perfect medium through which to explore the work's philosophical and dramatic power- not least the great set-piece scenes: Amleto's soliloquy 'Essere o non essere!\" (To be or not to be), Ofelia's Mad Scene and the fight scenes- in a way that strikingly prefigures the verismo operas yet to come. This production premiered at the Bregenz Festival in June 2016; a film of the production followed on C Major, which won numerous accolades. This audio recording was made during the same performances. The production features an excellent cast with the title role taken by Pavel Cernoch.","brand":"Naxos Opera Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46402790391891,"sku":"2189179X","price":28.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3687728.jpg?v=1790268863","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/amleto-730099045476","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
