This production in March was a joint one with Verona and Trieste.  Unfortunately, it seems that at least one of the performances was hindered by an orchestral strike and that piano accompaniment was used. Despite this the scheduled HD broadcast went ahead.   Matteo Sansone (Opera magazine, July 2012, p.835) spoke of "this remarkable singers' opera had its strongest assets in the bel canto numbers and the animated duets".
