Key to the success of any performance of this opera is the portrayal of Renata…Here the role is taken by Polish soprano Ewa Vesin, not one whit fazed by her unflattering outfits, let alone Prokofiev’s tortured vocal writing…Carmine Maringola has transplanted the opera from pre-Enlightenment darkness to a literal netherworld with his set design…Should you find balletic doppelgängers a distraction in opera this extravaganza won’t be for you…Outstanding among the singers is Leigh Melrose as Ruprecht.
