Movie Reviews of Puccini - Manon Lescaut (remastered)
Movie Review: Renata Scotto is wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have recently been on a "Manon Lescaut" kick--having watched this
version of the opera, the Kiri/Domingo version, and the recent Met
production starring Karita Mattila.
I watched Renata Scotto in this dvd of the opera last night and just
loved it! She was a WONDERFUL Manon--the entire Act II was especially
enjoyable, as was Act IV. Scotto is a great actress, as well as having
a beautiful voice, and she seemed to really sink her teeth into the part.
For me, this performance was equal, though different, from the Kiri Te Kanawa "Manon Lescaut". It is true, Kiri and Placido Domingo had lots
of chemistry! They are awesome together. That is a hard performance to
top. But Renata Scotto's portrayal was so much fun, I think I enjoyed it
just as much. Maybe the Kiri version is slightly more romantic.
(I would mention that for me the Mattila/Giordani MET performance was
sadly disappointing. No sparks there. And some less than shimmering
vocals as well, at times.)
I highly recommend this Renata Scotto "Manon Lescaut". You will love the
singing, the passionate performances of all the singers, even the beautiful sets and costumes. All perfection.
