Combining two of the most beloved bel canto operas: Donizetti’s Lucrezia Borgia and Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi. Both operas are renowned for their extraordinarily emotional and elegant music, featuring tragic arias such as ‘La tremenda ultrice spade’, ‘Ella è morta, o sciagurato’ from I Capuletti e i Montecchi and ‘M’odi, ah, m’odi!’ from Lucrezia Borgia.

Starring Renée Fleming, Michael Fabiano, Elisabeth DeShong and Vitalij Kowaljow and recorded live at the San Francisco Opera, September-October 2011
