Movie Reviews of Cilea - Adriana Lecouvreur
Movie Review: Adriana Caballe
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is vintage Caballe in her prime. All the famous Caballe trademarks are here: ravishing pianissimi, silvery glistening tone, seamless legato and thrilling fortes. The strength of her acting comes not from tossing her body around on stage in all kinds of preposterous positions [unlike so much of today's ludicrous staging], but from the unbeatable combination of her consummate vocal artistry and innate musicianship, using her tremendous vocal dexterity, a seemingly endless palette of tonal colors, varied articulations that appropriately declaim the text and dynamic shadings: all of which rivets your attention on her...
...except when the stage is dominated by Cossotto, one of the last *real* Italian dramatics, whose vocal thrust and commitment to the part create the perfect foil to Caballe. When these two ladies start to tangle, get out of the way. If looks could kill, the entire cast would be on the floor from their smirking glances of withering rebuke and whole-hearted hatred.
While this is definitely a diva's opera, Carreras shows why he was such a sensation at the beginning of his career. With his classic good looks, outpouring of a sumptuous, spinning lyric sound and spot-on acting, he makes the most of a rather thankless part, being consistenly engaged in the action (albeit perhaps a little over-wrought at times).
