Muti also succeeds in covering the cracks in the potentially diffuse five-act I vespri siciliani…with Studer outstanding as the Duchess Elena. Zancanaro brings trenchant nobility as his father, the Sicilian governor Montforte. Pier Luigi Pizzi’s traditional production incorporates the complete Act 3 ballet, alluringly danced by a troupe that includes Carla Fracci and Wayne Eagling.' International Record Review
