Movie Reviews of Donizett - L'Elisir d'Amore / Alagna, Gheorghiu, Scaltriti, Alaimo, Pido, Lyon Opera (Special Edition with Highlights CD)
Movie Review: Delightful Elixir!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the superstar couple Alagna and Gheorghiu are the leads in this opera, it is Alagna who really is the star in this live opera. Alagna displays his fabulous voice and comedic ability. He really makes his lovesick character to be believable and funny. Gheorghiu is in fine voice here too, but somehow her acting ability seems to be more strongly suited to drama (she was superb in "La Traviata"). Her performance seems forced. She's still a fantastic beauty with a voice like an angel. I think her overbite is just cute. The performance was well filmed as visual and sound are excellent. The rest of the cast are in spectacular form.
