Madama Butterfly at the Aix Festival
Article by Michael Milenski from OperaToday
“Conductor Daniele Rustioni is the music director of the Opéra de Lyon (a co-producer of this Butterfly), the excellent orchestra of the Opéra de Lyon was in the Aix Festival’s Archvêché theater pit. Over the years in Lyon Mo. Rustioni has shown himself receptive to understanding and supporting progressive staging concepts, as he did for this Andrea Breth production. With this orchestra that knows him well, and understands his musical being he was able to create an immediacy of sonic-scapes that gave us unusual pleasure... The maestro had obvious musical sympathy with the diva, resulting in a splendid Act III.”
