Constructing a Characterįor its current revival the Met has handed the baton to soprano Eleonora Buratto, whose career has seen the soprano dominate 18 th century opera like few others. It’s, as some people would call it, a big sing. She has to sing one of opera’s most renowned duets and arias, followed by some truly complex musical passages that test not only her technique, but interpretative and musical insight. The soprano has to interpret a character that transforms from a child into a woman. Modern issues of interpretation aside (and this opera brings forth a great deal, many of which have been contended for decades and some that are now being questioned more acutely now), the role calls for an interpreter to not only sing virtually non-stop from the moment she arrives on stage.
