Un Ballo in Maschera is a lyric drama of formal court life full of the machinery of comedy--disguises, misunderstandings--upon which lyric feeling and deep tragedy break in. The triumph of Claudio Abbado's vision of the score is that the feeling and tragedy are all the more affecting because he brings out the charm of episodes like Riccardo's visit to the fortune-teller Ulrica, disguised as a sailor; Domingo is splendid in the slightly parodic aria of dangers at sea, moving elsewhere as a man torn between public and personal duty and his heart. The vocal tension which sometimes damages Katia Ricciarelli's performances here works in her portayal of a woman on the verge of collapse--the gallows-side love duet between her and Domingo has an almost Wagnerian intensity. Bruson is solid as the husband and best friend who believes himself betrayed; Raimondi and Foiani appropriately sinister as the manipulative heavies who stir the plot and introduce a sinister undertone from the first scene onwards; Gruberova a delight in the britches part of the squire Oscar; Obratzova admirably over the top in Ulrica's prophesies of doom. --Roz Kaveney
