	La Folia -- OONY's Star-Studded Concert Version of Donizetti's Anna Bolena
		Her 1957 La Scala Anna Bolena was a sensation, and the live recording on EMI is still a first choice, but if you must have stereo, a Decca reissue starring Beverly Sills is a good alternative.
		Anna Bolena is no longer a rarity, but it’s still on the fringes of the standard repertory, so the December 14 Carnegie Hall concert version was especially welcome, doubly so since it featured an outstanding cast of singers.
		Anna has plenty to do in Act One, but much of Stoyanova’s singing was generic, the voice nice enough, a bit on the bright side, with good range and nimble in the coloratura.

		Anna trovò la pace spirituale durante i suoi ultimi due giorni di vita, e disse al carceriere che confidava nella pietà di Dio e credeva che sarebbe andata in paradiso.

	ANNA BOLENA - BIOGRAFIA - CRONOLOGIA
		Anna Bolena faceva parte del seguito della regina e viveva a corte; si è già parlato della mancanza di privacy, si aggiunga l'inevitabile curiosità con cui cortigiani (e ambasciatori) guardavano a ogni aspetto della vita del sovrano, anche se, apparentemente, la vita di corte continuava come sempre.
		Per quanto riguarda Anna Bolena, la richiesta era formulata in modo da coprire ogni possibile obiezione futura riguardo al suo stato coniugale al momento del matrimonio: contemplava infatti sia il vero e proprio fidanzamento ufficiale, sia una eventuale promessa segreta.
		Quello che il re ed Anna auspicavano era la possibilità che il divorzio non fosse necessario convincendo la regina Caterina a ritirarsi in convento di sua spontanea volontà e lasciando che la posizione coniugale del consorte venisse ridefinita una volta venuta a cadere ogni opposizione da parte sua.

		Anna Bolena was fifteen years old when she first met Henry VIII, who had been her mother's lover, Elizabeth Howard, when he was seventeen and by that time he was the lover of her elder sister Mary.
		Anna was sent very young to the court of France, where she has been bridesmaid of Queen Claudia and where she has learnt dance, singing and the art of seduction.
		Anna reigned for some years, gave Henry a daughter who will become the great Elizabeth, than, as every body knows, was repudiated, closed in the Tower and in the end beheaded.

	OSW production of Anna Bolena
		Several Society members saw the production at different venues and were all impressed by the professional approach of the students and the high quality of the performance with a score ingeniously and imaginatively reduced by the musical director, Fraser Goulding, for an orchestra of 5 and a chorus of 2.

	ArkivMusic \| Donizetti: Anna Bolena / Rudel, Sills, Plishka, Et Al
		Anna Bolena premiered in 1830 and was Donizetti's first great success--and it remains one of his finest works.
		Anna manages to come across as a real character, as does the unfortunate Jane Seymour, who has the (bad) luck to be Henry VIII's new love; and Henry's music, too, is composed effectively for this royal villain.
		Following the premiere, Anna Bolena held the stages of Europe for another 50 years, but then disappeared until 1957 when it was mounted at La Scala as a star vehicle for Maria Callas, and one might say that that production was the start of the bel canto revival.

	Donizetti - Anna Bolena / Suliotis, Horne, Alexander, Giaurov, Wiener Operaorchester, Varviso: read reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I assumed that Anna Bolena would always belong to her, and after listening to the renditions by Sills and Sutherland, I definitely told myself that no other soprano could make a mark on Anne Boleyn.
		The Anna Bolena is probably Suliotis' least satisfactory recording; the tone is too lean for most of the time and lacking in colour (especially in the opening scene), the technique rather precarious.
		Yet I don't agree that it is a truly bad recording; her Bolena certainly has virtues, and the dry acoustics are at least partly to blame for the emaciated sound (Horne sounds unusually dry too, her top "pinched").

		This is probably because Anna's tragedy comes as a fusion of all the wounded characters she had played previously.
		Anna Bolena, Donizetti's great opera about the English queen who was beheaded by her husband Henry VIII, was a masterpiece rarely revived after its premiere.
		Anna has to maintain a sense of regality, yet she loses her temper in one of the scenes where she is to be brought before the judges.

		It is a part of the received lore among opera fans that the role of Anna is a voice killer.
		(Years later she would describe this "Anna Bolena" as the highlight of her career.) Gianni Raimondi sounds fine to me in what remains of the part of Percy, although some would doubtless argue that his is not the proper type of voice for the role.

		Though "Anna Bolena" offered the Opera debut of Mauceri as conductor, we are not getting the true new look of the Pittsburgh Opera this year.
		Thank goodness, because "Anna Bolena" was a plodding production, conservative and similar to those that former artistic director Tito Capobianco used to stage.

		The Philharmonia Orchestra is delighted to be involved in one of the most exciting operatic events of the year, taking place at the Tower of London in July in its first ever Festival of Music.
		It is here, in the heart of the Tower that Donizetti's great tragic opera, Anna Bolena, will be staged and it was here in 1536 that Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, was imprisoned, beheaded and buried.
		When Jane becomes pregnant Henry sets a devious trap for the unfortunate Anne whose fear, despair, dissolution and final defiance are witnessed by all as she is dramatically executed on Tower Green whilst the bells ring out for the King's new wife.

		The sinfonia to Anna Bolena is a wonderful piece of music, encapsulating every emotion and theme of Donizetti's opera: love, adultery, wrath, murder, incest and betrayal.
		She was supported by an equally accomplished cast with Charles Johnston, as the baritone King Enrico, managing to avoid becoming the usual pantomime villain of opera by tempering his cruel and malevolent treatment of Anna with the tenderness he shows towards Giovanna Seymour.

		Her singing in the second scene of the Act, backed by gentle heart-beat pizzicato, was psychologically revealing, Anna's growing introspection displayed by increasingly concentrated singing.
		Her own singing here was haunting, but her expressive power was augmented by her ability to cement ensemble scenes, to form bonds with other characters without costumes, scenery or staging.
		In Donizetti's opera, Anna has an ex-fianc'e, Lord Richard Percy, and Jerry Hadley's portrayal of the role -- which included some of the strongest singing of the evening -- was particularly vivid.
