AFIK it was a joint production with Sao Carlo theater of Lisbona, but till now no performance are scheduled, maybe next year. I listened the second cast too. The second cast was not as good as the first. I like the two female singers (Mariola Cantarero and Tiziana Carraro). The tenor was inadequate, the "countertenor", who sung as Armando was terrible. I was in fourth rank near the stage, but it was difficult to hear him. La Fenice performed the original Venice version (of course) with only minor cuts (some passages "in recitativo secco" and the Second Act Chorus "Nel silenzio tra l'orror" between Palmide Great Aria and the Quatuor). The program have two pages about MFC (half page alone about "El irredento Dreyfuss".
