Movie Reviews of Giordano - Andrea Chenier
Movie Review: From an era that unfortunately does not exist anymore
Summary: 5 Stars
For better or for worse, opera singers like this trio no longer exist. This is a period performance from 1961 when it was still acceptable for a singer to "break" character and acknowledge an ovation after an aria or duet. But more importantly, this is a pedal on the metal performance that is an example of thee definitive style for this type of opera.
Only Franco Corelli achieved the same performance heat that del Monaco had and this aria filled role shows del Monaco at his best both vocally, and even when there's a bit too much narcisim, his masculine presence and richly ringing voice compensate. Tebaldi's voice was perfect for her role and although she looks a little uncomfortable here and there and the voice doesn't always obey when going for a high note, the warmth of her voice, her exquisite phrasing and stage persona comes through. It is interesting that twice (once with del Monaco after the big second act duet) during the performance, she appears seriously reticent about breaking character to acknowledge the ovations. Even after her big third act aria, it takes her forever to modestly accept the applause. Protti is a pleasure to see working with his big dark baritone voice and handsome presence, he's in much form that any of his studio performances.
This is in black and white and in more than acceptable video and audio and part of a series published by VAI of Italian singers who appeared in staged opera performances in the early 1960s in Japan.
