LA SONNAMBULA at TEATRO LA FENICE

opera in two acts
libretto by Felice Romani Last heard at the Metropolitan Opera in 1972, La Sonnambula has appeared only intermittently in the company's repertory, but always to feature great coloratura sopranos, such as Marcella Sembrich, Maria Barrientos, Lily Pons, Joan Sutherland, and Renata Scotto. The role of Elvino has been sung by tenor luminaries as well, such as Enrico Caruso, Beniamino Gigli, and Nicolai Gedda.
