I’ve been to the dress rehearsal and the first performance of I Pagliacci. I must admit, it’s a fascinating production: the realism of the show imposes rather difficult though real ‘rules of the game. I admire both maestro Rustioni and the singers of the Mikhailovsky Theatre. I’m to sing the main part and I’m delighted to be on such a stage with such talented artists”.
