What the French expected from opera changed in 1831 with the success of Meyerbeer’s ‘Robert le Diable’. Lengthy works with abundant scenic spectacle became practically obligatory and at least one ballet had to be included, in order to give the gentlemen of the influential Jockey Club an opportunity to see their favourites from the ‘corps de ballet’ in action. Verdi might have disagreed with the concept and grumbled over it but even he wanted to succeed in Paris and enjoy international fame so he played by the rules and gave the Parisians what they wanted.

The ‘Otello’ and ‘I Lombardi’ excerpts both represent first releases on CD, as does Bonynge’s ‘Leoni’ – originally coupled on the LP with the same composer’s ‘L’Oracolo’.
