Mixed reviews at Royal Italian Opera on Huguenots Favorite and more
Critics condemn uneven productions with the Huguenots and the Favorite drawing large houses. Performances of Iass a della, Giraume Tell, and Le Prophete are panned for slovenly or deficient staging. Singers Jenny Ney Jenny Bane Mame Rudersdorff fail to impress, while Graziani and Lefèvre draw mixed verdicts. The orchestra preserves tone and precision though light and shade wane. chorus needs younger voices and ballet gains from Mellon. Overall, a bright retro spect with notable strengths and notable faults.
