In case you are wondering why I chose this particular video of 'I Puritani' to subtitle, I will tell you about it, so you can decide if you want to invest the time in it. The production is traditional and decent-looking. The video quality is decent. The sound is very good. As to the singers: the Baritone, Smilek, is everything you could want to hear in this role, beautiful voice, easy to hear. Would love to hear more of him. Bonfadelli gets off to a bit of a rocky start, as she seems to struggle in the lower range, but as things move along, she does a great job. Just give her a chance. Laho is a good tenor; not a Pavarotti, or a Kraus, but very enjoyable. It's a light-ish voice with good squillo, and easy to hear. Vitelli is the weakest of the four principles, but I enjoyed his effort and sincerity. He is occasionally hard to hear. Labadens, I could not really hear much of at all, but happily, the role of Enrichetta is a small one.

Thank you so much for putting this opera on with English sub titles. I love this opera
You're welcome! I'm so glad you like it and thank you for commenting!
Enjoyed the opera very much as it is one of favorite operas by Bellini after Norma.
Me too. Glad you liked it. :o)
As an opera buff since pre-teen, I am greatly appreciative of your English captions, as my French is a little rusty and my Italian non-existent. I miss my days in Manhattan with free opera in Central Park with thousands in attendance. This helps me heal a little. THANKS AGAIN
You are welcome. Thanks for commenting. 😊
Great Elvira 🥰
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this!
You're very welcome!
One of my favourites. Baritone and basses better than the tenor, Elvira was very good - new to me - and a name I will look for.
Hi. Thank you for your comment. There is a commercial dvd of Lucia di Lammermoor available with Stefania Bonfadelli (the Elvira here), Marcello Alvarez, and Roberto Frontali. You might can find it on YT as well. Kind regards.
I thought it was quiet the other way around
