Movie Reviews of Delibes - Lakme / Joan Sutherland, Huguette Tourangeau, Henri Wilden, John Pringle, Richard Bonynge, Opera Australia
Movie Review: Nice DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Delibes - Lakme / Joan Sutherland, Huguette Tourangeau, Henri Wilden, John Pringle, Richard Bonynge, Opera Australia
I was going to see this opera but I wanted to get familiar with it because I only knew the "flower duet", I bought this DVD, it was the only one I found, but knowing that Lakme was being performed by Joan Sutherland I was sure it would be a good selection.
All the cast sang very well, overstating! , but the acting that must convinced me was that of Clifford Grant as Nilakantha.
Beautiful music with a wonderful orchestra director, the scenery and costumes are colorful and beautiful.
The dancing in the second act was uneven.
The sound was great.
I am glad I've purchased this DVD, I enjoyed very much.

Summary of Delibes - Lakme / Joan Sutherland, Huguette Tourangeau, Henri Wilden, John Pringle, Richard Bonynge, Opera Australia
Delibes' story is set in India in the mid-19th century when the British were imposing a suppressive rule over the many religious sects. Nilakantha, the leader of one of these forbidden sects, is secretly bringing up his daughter Lakm? as a priestess, to be worshipped as divine by his followers. He keeps her isolated in a temple which he has surrounded with a bamboo stockade, declaring the temple and garden to be sacred ground."Lakm? was a warm affirmation that Joan Sutherland is not only a great star, but she is a sensitive and subtle artist..." The Financial Review
Featuring: Joan Sutherland, Huguette Tourangeau, Henri Wilden, The Australian Opera Chorus, The Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra. Conductor: Richard Bonynge.
