Movie Reviews of Olivia Newton-John and the Sydney Symphony: Live at the Sydney Opera House
Movie Review: WOW!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Move over Cher and Madonna--and go away Striesand! Hang it up, Celine and Mariah---Olivia shows how a true "Diva" is supposed to do it LIVE!!
I sooo hope she does a Large USA tour after this. At 60, she is stunning, a cancer survior, an activist and blessed with a golden voice.
This DVD concert covers it all--From her 1st Single "If not for you" all the way up to her "Stronger Than Before" cd released in 2004--Olivia and her music has stood the test of time!
Some DVD concerts have some lows with ho-hum songs and you wanna skim thru them--with this concert, YOU WILL WANT TO WATCH EVERY MINUTE--not only cuase of all the great songs, but the musical production. Olivia has to have the best put together pop band out there. The musicians and backing vocalist were top notch on the concert.
If you like Olivia, this DVD is worth every penny and every minute watching.
Olivia, love, you're still the best!!!

Summary of Olivia Newton-John and the Sydney Symphony: Live at the Sydney Opera House
From "If Not for You" to "Physical," from Grease to Xanadu, from her successful battle against breast cancer to her support of numerous environmental causes, Olivia Newton-John has had a long, fruitful, and impressive career, as Live at the Sydney Opera House, a good-looking, great-sounding, beautifully performed concert recorded in 2006, will testify. Born in 1948, Newton-John is one of those singers who these days would be known as a diva, were it not for the fact that her musical style and overall manner are too self-effacing for so presumptuous a term. And while her voice is a bit less pristine these days than when she came on the scene with a series of country-flavored singles in the '70s, what little she's lost in purity is balanced by an increase in soul; she'll never be Etta James, but once she warms up, she hits the high notes with ease and sings with considerable power and confidence. What's more, though she's usually categorized as an adult contemporary artist, in the course of this career-spanning, 27-song set (backed by a first-rate band and the full Sydney Symphony Orchestra), she reveals herself to be at ease with a variety of styles, ranging from the aforementioned country ("Let Me Be There," "Please Mr. Please," and a rousing version of Dolly Parton's "Jolene") through soft pop ("I Honestly Love You," "Have You Never Been Mellow"), the movie hits (two from Xanadu and three from Grease), an electronically re-created duet with the late Peter Allen ("Tenterfield Saddler"), and even a creditable go at the torch standard "Cry Me a River." There are no DVD bonus features, but between-songs bits find Newton-John, daughter Chloe Lattanzi, and members of the band providing a tourist's eye view of Sydney. --Sam GrahamMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
