Movie Reviews of Donizetti - Don Pasquale
Movie Review: An impeccable performance
Summary: 5 Stars
An Amazon opera video shopper trying blindly (or deafly) to select one of several tempting DVDs of Donizetti's "Don Pasquale" couldn't go very wrong with this Teatro alla Scala production, despite some favorable critiques of other versions available. I don't know the others but am very happy with this one. The singing and Riccardo Muti's artistic control are impeccable, the staging is without fuss, the acting intelligent, the ensemble work merry and the sound (live perfomance at La Scala) is satifying. Important DVD Opera emphasis here: the stage direction is unobtrusive and minimal. Title virtuoso role of miserly,old and romantically deluded Don Pasquale trying to out-maneuver his nephew in marriage is finely sung by Ferruccio Furlanetto, who with deep rich voice (and only bland makeup) finds some sympathy for the old monster, downplaying some comic opportunities. The DVD deserves 5 Stars just because this great comic opera, a much shorter equivalent to "Barber of Seville," and "Cindarella" is so rarely performed. Lovely melodies and only two rapid-fire tongue-twisters. If you have to select, this recording is probably what you might wish for in a tour of European opera houses and seldom find in contemporary stage business dominated American or festival opera houses.
