onStage Pittsburgh: This melodiously exuberant and rhythmically impassioned work has been a popular success since its 1853 première. It took some time for critics to warm to it, with detractors carping about what they considered to be Verdi’s “oom-pa-pa” styled orchestration and point to the impossibly twisted plot. Maybe the complaints have some aspect of validity for some, for others, not so much.
