Movie Reviews of Handel - Alcina / Naglestad, Coote, Schneiderman, Romei, Hacker (Staatsoper Stuttgart 1999)
Movie Review: Ms Naglestad shows us her (ahem) lungs
Summary: 4 Stars
All the singers have excellent voices, but Naglestad's is particularly wonderful, strong and melodic, an especially worthwhile trait for Handel operas. The sound quality is great for a DVD; someone really took care to see that miking was done properly. You can really enjoy the singing, and even on my cheap movie sound system the music was goose-bump inducing.
On the downside, the quasi-pornographic staging alluded to by so many other reviewers (Ms. Naglestad really shows us her (ahem) lungs) is mildly distracting, but not nearly so much so in my opinion as the hair-pulling clothes-tearing depressive melancholia evinced by almost all the roles. It just gets a bit much after a while. For myself, who has yet to see a traditional staging of this opera, I would have appreciated something less avante-guard. I thought the setting, which is a single room of what appears to be a derelict manor house, was quite boring by the end.
Overall grade: A for singing and sound; F for staging. Might you not just as well buy a good CD?
