Watchers Hear Vessella A Night At National Theater
The National Theater offered an eventful watch to ring out the old year with Vessella's Italian repertoire. Conductor Oreste Veonetta drew unusually rich sound from a small orchestra, delivering notable pieces from Mascagni and Carmen. Leila Royer sang Tosca arias with a bright, clear upper register, while Saint-Saens Danse Macabre proved more curious than delightful.
