Movie Reviews of Bellini: I Puritani

Movie Review: Modern I Puritani
Summary: 5 Stars

First of all I am a Sutherland fan, have been for a long time and will always be so. However, if you are new to opera and are looking for a fun fresh introduction to Coloratura/Bel Canto, you can purchase this ''Modern rendition'' of an well know opera. Think of Sutherland as the standard to aspire to, but Ms Netrebko looks/sounds good and conveys the idea of the plot. I keep watching it and enjoy it very much, particularly as Ms Netrebko incorporates unusual stage tricks and always looks very, very beautiful. Then again; I always go back to the real ''I Puritani'' with Dame Sutherland/Duval or Pavaroti.

Movie Review: STUNNING PERFORMANCE
Summary: 5 Stars

It is amazing how (IMHO) a relatively sedate so-so opera could be transformed into an electrifying performance due to the brilliance of Netrebko. Not only is Netrebko's voice incredible, and physical appearance mesmerizing, but she is also a consumate actress, skillfully playing to and looking right into the on-stage cameras, in the process producing a DVD I know we will all return to many times. For the record, I saw this performance twice in its simulcast HD version as well as live at the Met.

Movie Review: One of the best opera recordings I have seen
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an outstanding recording. The music ic beautiful, the singing and conducting are excellent. Netrebko is outstanding and everyone else is excellent. I also saw this in the HD broadcast on PBS, and it is hard to tell the difference in picture quality between this dvd and the HD broadcast, although I think the DTS audio on the DVD id a little better than the Dolby on the broadcast.

Movie Review: Bellini's best
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved this film, and enjoyed it very much. Netrebko is a most excellent Elvira, and the rest of the cast completely lived up to her. Recommend this DVD highly for anyone who loves opera on film.

Movie Review: Cutler & Netrebko at their best
Summary: 5 Stars

Buy it...it is beautiful

Only note...Amazon says that Renee Fleming is "in" this production...and she is, but only as an interviewer at the intermissions with Anna.
