Movie Reviews of Dvorak - Rusalka / Robert Carsen, James Conlon - Fleming, Urbanova, Diadkova, Larin, Opéra de Paris
Movie Review: Poorly staged
Summary: 2 Stars
Rusalka is among my favorite operas - Dvorak did a wonderful job composing the music to fit beautifully with the plot and the fantasty elements. I have the Fleming CD, and I thankfully did not buy this DVD. I borrowed it from the library, thinking I would at least enjoy it, even if it was imperfect. Giving this DVD two stars is generous. A fairly traditional staging is all that can work with Rusalka; it is a fantasy, set in what is almost another world. As soon as Rusalka's father entered wearing a suit, I knew the production would not be to my liking. It was about halfway through the opera that I realized I would actually hate it. Many portions of the opera become almost entirely nonsensical because the libretto does not match what's happening on stage. The simplistic staging could work for other operas, but Rusalka is a piece of fantasy that deserves better than what this director gave it. The extra star in my review is merely because of the music itself. Not recommended at all
