During rehearsals for Otello at Ópera de Bilbao, Riccardo Frizza sat down with Felix Ardanaz of Opera World to discuss the upcoming run of La traviata at Teatro La Fenice, which marks his first time leading Verdi’s beloved work.
“Riccardo Frizza, a real expert on the Italian lyric repertoire and particularly on Verdi’s output, possesses the qualities of the greatest conducting masters: impeccable gesture, an analytical vision that guarantees total fidelity to the original text, and a moving expression that floods all his performances with an overwhelming intensity,” wrote Felix Ardanaz of Opera World.
