Verdi: I due Foscari
Renato Bruson (Francesco Foscari); Alberto Cupido (Jacopo Foscari); Linda Roark-Strummer (Lucrezia Contarini);
Orchestra & Chorus of La Scala; Gianandrea Gavazzeni
Renato Bruson takes the role of the Venetian Doge - Francesco Foscari - in Verdi's dark, three-act tragedy based on a drama by Lord Byron set in 15th century Venice. Gianandrea Gavazzeni directs the 1988 La Scala production of a work that is hailed among the best of Verdi's early operas, and that led him to a career of operatic immortality.
