In this Teatro dell'Opera production, the protagonist is the young Polish soprano Ewa Vesin. No doubt, she is one of the few sopranos able to cope with this taxing role. She is a soprano with a good and well set voice as well as a wide extension of range. She fits the role well, and makes Renate's strikingly evocative obsession credible - her sexual relationship with the devil that she believes to be an angel, first, and a knight, later, her contagion to a whole group of nuns, and her trial and condemnation to be burnt at the stake. She marshaled an array of colors. She is warm and elegantly contoured whenever she reminisced about the angel. Her voice becomes shrill and cutting when her hysteria reached fever. She is also a superb actress.
In particolare la Renata di Ewa Vesin, sempre in scena, d’una fatica sovrumana per il soprano questa partitura, eppure l’interprete non appare mai stanca, è duttilissima, splendida attrice che canta o cantante che recita, sono tutt’uno. Come dovrebbe sempre essere in teatro un cantante.
Ewa Vesin adapts with ease to the demanding and taxing role of Renata, rich in hallucinatory soliloquies, lyrical leaps and shouted moments.
