Description:

In the late 19th century, Princess Fedora is about to be married. But when her fiancé is shot and killed by Count Loris, she vows revenge and gathers evidence, only to discover that her fiancé was actually having an affair with Loris's wife, and her hatred turns to sympathy for Loris. But it is already too late. Fedora's brother and mother died because of what she had accused Loris before she knew the truth. She was one of the most outstanding singers in Italian opera, not only for her voice, but also for her singing technique, acting, and appearance, and her sudden passing brought tears to the eyes of her fans around the world. In a recording made in 2015, the year before her death, she and her lifelong companion Armigliato sang together in a breathtaking performance. From hatred to love, and then to repentance for her own sins, she sang her last breath. It is a performance that can truly be described as a climactic performance. Naxos Japan
