Movie Reviews of Korngold - Die tote Stadt / Jan Latham-Koenig - Denoke, Kerl - Opéra de Rhin (1999)
Movie Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent representation of the 1920 opera with music by the 23 year old Korngold, who also collaborated with his father on the libretto (based on a story not by the Korngolds). I wasn't around to see the original nor the Mets version a year later; however, this production admirably captures the spirit of the times with its expressionistic design (merging with the short lived dadaism) complementing the early modern score. The lead singers are superb in vocally exhausting parts, with the male lead due very high marks for sustaining without weakening as demanding a role as there is in opera today. Supporting roles are also performed with excellence and the acting fulfills modern definitions of the singer/actor. Obviously each of us will see what our perspective allows and demands,for those of us who grew up with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and other illusionist films exploring unconscious motivations and behavior (in the era of psychoanalytic dominance in the arts)little will appear strange.
If the theme or music by Korngold interest you, this is a fine experience.
