With an outstanding cast and Jan Philipp Gloger's innovative staging, the Bregenz Festival's "Tancredi" is a fresh new interpretation of Rossini's opera, set in the world of organized crime and reinterpreting the traditionally heterosexual love story as a queer romance: Only a small step, as Tancredi has also usually been sung by a woman, but she normally embodies a man. This bold reinterpretation is brought to life by Anna Goryachova and Mélissa Petit, whose performances capture the emotional depth and tragedy of their love. Petit's coloratura-sure soprano in particular has been praised by the press. But the soulful Anna Goryachova in the title role, tenor Antonino Siragusa and bass-baritone Andreas Wolf were also well received by critics and the audience. Conductor Yi-Chen Lin and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra provide the music and occasionally let some wind instruments play the leading roles in their solos in their solos.
