I finally got to see La Gioconda! I'm grateful for the captions in English so I can follow the very moving story. I was blown away by the main dancers for "Dance of the Hours" - They were beautiful! My favorite aria from this opera is "Cielo e Mar". I have recordings of Caruso and Pavarotti singing this aria.

La Gioconda: Deborah Voigt, soprano Laura Adorno, a Genoese lady: Elisabetta Fiorillo, mezzo soprano Alvise Badoero, one of the leaders of the Inquisition, Laura's husband: Carlo Colomba, bass La Cieca, Gioconda's mother: Ewa Podleś, contralto Enzo Grimaldo, a Genoese prince, disguised as a Dalmatian seaman: Richard Margison, tenor Barnaba, spy of the Inquisition: Carlo Guelfi, baritone Zuàne, a boatman/a voice: Josep Miquel Ribot Isèpo, a scribe/a voice: Jon Plazaola, tenor Barnabotto/a pilot/a singer: Pavel Kudinov, bass Chorus and Orchestra of Teatro Liceu, Barcelona, Daniele Calegari, Conductor Act 1 The Lion's Mouth The courtyard of the Doge's Palace During Carnival celebrations before Lent, while everyone else is preoccupied with a regatta, Barnaba, a state spy, lustfully watches La Gioconda as she leads her blind mother, La Cieca, across the Square. When his amorous advances are firmly rejected, he exacts his revenge by denouncing the old lady as a witch whose evil powers influenced the outcome of the gondola race. It is only the intervention of a young sea captain that keeps the angry mob at bay. Calm is restored at the approach of Alvise Badoero, a member of the Venetian Inquisition, and his wife, Laura. Laura places La Cieca under her personal protection, and in gratitude the old woman presents her with her most treasured possession, a rosary. The sharp-eyed Barnaba notices furtive behaviour between Laura and the sea captain indicating a secret relationship. Recalling that Laura was engaged to the now banished nobleman Enzo Grimaldo before her forced marriage to Alvise, Barnaba realises that the sea captain is Enzo in disguise. Barnaba confronts Enzo, who admits his purpose in returning to Venice is to take Laura and begin a new life elsewhere. Barnaba knows that Gioconda is also infatuated with Enzo and he sees an opportunity to improve his chances with her by assisting Enzo with his plan of elopement. When Enzo has gone, Barnaba dictates a letter to Alvise revealing his wife's infidelity and the lovers' plan of escape. He is unaware that he has been overheard by Gioconda. The act ends with Barnaba dropping the letter into the Lion's Mouth, where all secret information for the Inquisition is posted, while Gioconda laments Enzo's perceived treachery, and the crowd returns to its festivities. Act 2 The Rosary The deck of Enzo's ship Enzo waits for Barnaba to row Laura out from the city to his vessel. Their joyful reunion is overshadowed by Laura's fears as she does not trust Barnaba. Gradually Enzo is able to reassure her, and he leaves her on deck while he goes to prepare for their departure. La Gioconda has been following Laura with the intention of exacting revenge from her rival. Alvise and his armed men are also in hot pursuit, but as Gioconda is about to stab Laura she sees her mother's rosary hanging round her neck and has an instant change of heart. She hurries Laura into her boat so that she can evade her pursuers. Enzo returns to the deck to find that Laura has fled leaving Gioconda triumphant. Furthermore, Alvise's men are rapidly approaching. He sets fire to the ship rather than let it fall into the hands of his enemies before diving into the lagoon. Act 3 The Ca' d'Oro (House of Gold) Alvise's palace Laura has been captured, and her vengeful husband insists she must die by poisoning herself (effectively committing suicide and condemning herself to Hell). Once again Gioconda has followed and has found her way into the palace, this time with the intention of saving her rival. Finding Laura alone Gioconda replaces the phial of poison with a powerful drug which creates the appearance of death. The second scene begins with Alvise welcoming his fellow members of the nobility to the palace; Barnaba and Enzo are amongst those present. Lavish entertainment is provided and the act ends with the famous ballet Dance of the Hours. The mood of revelry is shattered as a funeral bell begins to toll and the body of Laura is revealed awaiting burial. A distraught Enzo flings off his disguise and is promptly seized by Alvise's men. Act 4 The Orfano Canal A crumbling ruin on the island of Giudecca In exchange for Enzo's release from prison, La Gioconda has agreed to give herself to Barnaba. When Enzo is brought in, he is initially furious when Gioconda reveals that she has had Laura's body brought from its tomb. He is about to stab her when Laura's voice is heard and Gioconda's part in reuniting the lovers becomes clear. Enzo and Laura make their escape, leaving La Gioconda to face the horrors awaiting her with Barnaba. The gondoliers' voices are heard in the distance telling that there are corpses floating in the city. When Gioconda tries to leave, she is caught by Barnaba. She then pretends to welcome his arrival, but under cover of decking herself in her jewellery, seizes a dagger and stabs herself to death. In frustrated rage Barnaba tries to perpetrate one last act of evil, screaming at the lifeless body "Last night your mother offended me. I drowned her!"

There's an unfortunate distraction for the viewer here because the video and audio are severely out of sync, but if you stop watching and just listen, this is a very good recording. Yes, each of the principals is in imperfect form, including even Podles, but the level of singing is so much more than acceptable throughout that it's well worth a listen. What little I watched of the staging seemed very apt, dark and threatening like the opera itself. I hope that some day Pierrot will be able to reupload a copy that keeps the voices and the mouths in sync. This channel is new to me and it's full of operatic treasures that I haven't found elsewhere, so I've just subscribed, and I hope that there will be many more subscribers soon. Please keep these masterpieces coming, Pierrot!

This opera production is the best video on youtube. The video is very clear and a very good singer. One thing I don't like is the ballerina on the Hours of Dance was half-naked. If the composer wrote and this is the way he wanted. That's fine with me. I think it would be best to cover it. But The whole opera is still the best. The whole opera made me cry because the music and the singers are the best of my life. I am hard of hearing and I use headphones. Bravo to all.

What a thoroughly entertaining production of one of the grandest of grand Italian operas, in the kind of productions you rarely seen nowadays especially at Covent Garden. Sung by an overall excellent cast with Voigt who was still in pretty good voice, and a superb bass as Alvise and a great contralto as La Cieca this was a hugely enjoyable couple of hours. With the inclusion of the ballet of the dance of the hours, it’s the kind of opera you can only dream of seeing regularly. If only the Royal Opera would think of mounting it with a great cast, Saioa Hernandez as La Gioconda and Anita Rachvelishvili as Laura perhaps?

Colombara is a Terrible awful Baritone, I am sorry to say, I saw Bechi and Gian Giacomo Guelfi sing this role with great passion and Beauty of tone. I would like to think about the times that Caruso sang together in this opera with Ruffo, seven Times in fact, Podles had a true Contralto tone, perfectly suited to the Blind Woman and she always excelled in Wagner, Voigt is pretty good here, Margison is a good Tenor , who are Laura and the Bass? Martinelli sang it also with Ruffo and a few times with Stracciari at Covent Garden, my grandfather was a leading Tenor in the Chorus at Covent Garden from 1909 till 1940, he opined the Three best Tenors he saw in the Role as Italians was Caruso Martinelli and Gigli, but a favourite of is was the Spaniard Vignas , Destinn often sang with Kirby-Lunn and Caruso also Martinelli in London, a very good theatre the Liceu, its acoustic is excellent, Special mention for the Dancers and Chorus very good and well conducted and played, overall a good performance even with the Lump of Lard Colombara!

I am still waiting for a really good quality release of this opera after the one with Marton and Domingo. This one is good but not great. As much as I love Debora Voigt she does not seem confident enough for singing this very demanding role. In fact, Gioconda needs five excellent singers, a very difficult task to accomplish these days.

Why are so many opera singers overweight? They look terrible on stage. Not credible as a lot of the romantic figures they play. They should take lessons from the dancers. Having said that, I realize this is an old production and that some opera singers these days understand the importance of staying slim for their image on stage and for their health.
