The Zurich Opera House gathered a star studded cast for this production: Italian soprano Eva Mei sings the Countess Violante while Spanisch soprano Isabel Rey is her opponent Arminda. Liliana Nikiteanu as Cavaliere Ramiro, Rudolf Schasching as Il Podestà Don Anchise and Christoph Strehl as Il Contino Belfiore make this production an overwhelming experience. Tobias Moretti, a popular Austrian actor with a musical background presented his second opera staging, to high praise from audience and critics alike. He sees this opera about mistaken identities and true love within a hierarchical order as a play on societal conditions at the onset of the enlightenment. This interpretation is supported by the simple and effective stage and costume design by the team Glittenberg/Martin/Dornhauser.
