It's time for another teaming up of the father-in-law/son-in-law duo of Thomas Hampson and Luca Pisaroni. A little over a year ago, we ran highlights from their concert in Heidleberg, Germany (unfortunately, they have been taken down!). This time the duo will be performing in Busseto, the home of the great composer Giuseppe Verdi.
Samuel Ramey & Thomas Hampson sing Il rival salvar tu dei... Suoni la tromba from I Puritani:
The program is not an all-Verdi, as one might expect. It includes Madamina, il catalogo è questo from Mozart's Don Giovanni, Hai già vinta la causa from Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, Vous qui faites l’endormie from Gounod's Faust, Vision fugitive from Massenet's Hérodiade, La calunnia from Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia, and Sorgete… Duce di tanti eroi from Rossini's Maometto II. But there will be plenty of Verdi, including the thrilling "Restate" duet from Don Carlo, the Credo from Otello, and Perfidi… Pietà, rispetto, amore from Macbeth. They will close the official program with the crowd-pleasing duet from Bellini's I Puritani "Il rival salvar…Suoni la tromba."
