About

Commonly translated as “The Four Fathers” or “The Four Curmudgeons”, a closer translation of the title from the original Venetian gives “The Four Old Gits”!

The first opera release on Rubicon Classics, the story follows four women attempting to outwit their boorish husbands so that young love may flourish!

The opera comes live from the excellent European Opera Centre, conducted by Vasily Petrenko?.

Reviews

“…Petrenko goes full out on Italian charm…and the many soloists – spanning the continent – are all young and committed. Mihnea Lamatic is suitably grumpy as the antique dealer Lunardo, trying to honour local custom by not allowing his daughter to see her bridegroom ahead of her wedding. Romina Casucci’s pert soprano makes for an engaging Lucieta”

Mark Pullinger – Gramophone magazine – September 2018

Performance **** Recording ****

“…Petrenko draws clean and articulate playing from the Liverpool Phil and the singers respond with character and point as they make up the battle-of-the-sexes cast. Standouts from the delicious soprano of Ana James as Felice and the likable, Latin tenor of Tansel Akzeybek as Filipeto, while the best sections of the piece – like the well-known intermezzo – are light as a feather.”

George Hall – BBC Music magazine – August 2018
