Coro E Orch Del Maggio Mf - Umberto Giordano: Siberia

Gabriel Faur� considered Umberto Giordano�s Siberia to be one of the most interesting and singular works of the early 20th century. The opera�s tragic narrative follows Prince Alexis�s courtesan Stephana. She falls in love with an innocent soldier, Vassili, who is sent to Siberia for killing the Prince. Stephana gives up her life of luxury to follow him but cannot escape her past. With its intensely Russian atmosphere and passionately soaring melodies, Siberia was Giordano�s favourite among his operas. This acclaimed Fiorentino production was greeted with multiple ovations. Conducted by Gianandrea Noseda with an outstanding cast led by soprano Sonya Yoncheva, who was the Singer of the Year of the 2021 Opus Klassik award.
