LyricalComedy in 3 Acts with libretto by Mario Ghisalberti, after the comedy by CarloGoldoni.

Anne-Lise Sollied (sop. - Rosaura), Henriette Bonde-Hansen (sop. - Marionette), Francesco Piccoli (ten. - Il conte di Bosco Nero), Giorgio Trucco (ten. - M. Le Bleau), Franck Leguérinel (bar. - Milord Runebif), Jonathan Veira (bass - Don Alvaro di Castiglia), Evgeniy Alexiev (bar. - Arlecchino), Chorus ofMontpellier National Opera, Orchestre Nationalde Montpellier cond. Enrique Mazzola.

Beforethis brand-new 'live' recording of 'The Cunning Widow', only three ofWolf-Ferrari's 15 operas have reached the CD catalogue. All the more welcome, then, is this splendidMontpellier Opera performance, which should do much to enhance the reputationof a composer who sought to synthesise a modern musical style with the spiritof 18th century Italian comedy (in this case, a play by Carlo Goldoni) whilealways distancing himself from the 'verismo' movement. A distinguished cast and the excellentOrchestre National de Montpellier are directed with great spirit by EnriqueMazzola.
