Movie Reviews of Handel: Semele
Movie Review: Weird Staging
Summary: 2 Stars
Handel: Semele
Staging is current vintage Eurotrash. Bartoli's mezzo lies too low for Semele and she strains to produce the required volume. Nikiteaun's voice also sorely lacks the strength needed for the role and her English pronunciation is atrocious. Tenor has a lovely voice which he produces without strain, both top and bottom, Orchestral playing excellent, and it is really better to listen to the sound track than to view tortuous sludge.
