This high-definition film features Bellini's historical opera "I Puritani," starring tenor Juan Diego Flórez and soprano Nino Machaidze, making her Decca DVD debut. The production, directed by Pier'Alli at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, also includes bass baritone Ildebrando D'Arcangelo. Set during England's Civil War, the opera tells a story of love and conflict between a Puritan, Arturo, a Royalist, Riccardo, and the woman Elvira. The plot involves escapes, disguises, and captures, culminating in Elvira losing her mind before a pardon restores her senses and reunites her with Arturo. Flórez delivers a masterful performance in the challenging lead tenor role. Opera lovers will appreciate the entire production and Flórez's exceptional singing.
