Verdi’s Jerusalem is not merely a version of I Lombardi. It is so different to its progenitor that Verdi wished to have an Italian translation of this French work introduced to La Scala as a new piece. The full story is clearly explained in Alexandra Maria Dielitz’s excellent notes to this DVD. This production was filmed at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa. It is sung in French and, appropriately, conducted by a Frenchman, Michel Plasson. Most of the singers are Italian, presumably members of the Carlo Felice theatre company…Dave Billinge
