Sung with great power and drama by Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Marcleo Alvarez, and Sondra Radvanovsky. The staging is often at odds with the libretto: for instance, in the second scene, we are supposedly in the hut of witch / fortune-teller Ulrica. Why does it seem that we are at a coffee-house or library reading room? Why do Amelia and the Governor and Renato have their secret encounter in a brightly-lit public hall: surely they would all recognize one another, no? Why does the page-boy Oscar have feathers?
