Customer Reviews of Donizetti - Roberto Devereux
When 2 is more than enough to make 5 My 5-star review is based on the two leads in this production. While the rest of the cast was adequate, these two lifted it to a high plane of achievement. Of course, the other star-performer, Donizetti, gets his accolades as ever for his rich and irresistable melodies. <

>The singing by Pendatchanska and Sabatini was beyond praise. Both rose to an occasion that I am thrilled to have had captured (since I wasn't in Naples that night). I cannot understand how one human can sing the queen without being scraped vocally raw by evening's end, but Pendatchanska finished this grueling role with panache and beauty of tone. Sabatini while not having as much demanded, sang with lyricism and heart -- something I have not always found in abundance in the past with him in live performance. Perhaps it was just me, because he certainly acquitted himself beautifully here. <

>This is a treasurable performance and will stay on my "5-star" shelf with the very few others that earn that rating from me.
Why isn't Pendatchanska at the Met????
It's all been said in the raves above. Pendatchanska is thrilling. If you have the luck to be in NY in April, she will be at NYCO in ERMIONE.
A Stellar "Roberto Deverwux"
I more or less stopped keeping track of singers after Sutherland, Sills, and Horne stopped singing, so I had never heard of Pendatchanska. I had the good fortune of seeing Beverly Sills sing all three Donizetti queens, and lament that only Roberto Devereux was videotaped - what a loss. She defined these roles forever. However, you can add Pendatchanska to the list of great QE I's - a bigger voice than Sills, not quite the coloratura, but fabulous nevertheless. Since this opera is sparsely represented in the discography, buy it for Pendatchanska - you won't be disappointed. I have to agree with the other reviews I've read - someone must have put narcotics into the air of the opera house - the audience responded to this fabulous singling as though half-dead. OH, well.
