Opera Rara release Donizetti’s Il Paria
This Friday 15 January, Opera Rara’s latest recording of Donizetti’s Il Paria will be released internationally by Warner Classics. Conducted by former Artistic Director Sir Mark Elder, Il Paria was recorded in the studio prior to a performance at London’s Barbican Centre in June 2019. Singing the role of Neala, Albina Shagimuratova, the star of Opera Rara’s award-winning recording of Rossini’s Semiramide, leads an outstanding cast accompanied by Britten Sinfonia.
