Movie Reviews of Simon Boccanegra
Movie Review: My favorite Milnes role!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tho I'm an opera fanatic, this is the only opera and only with Milnes where I cry every time at that last duet with Fiesco. Milnes portrayal is so far beyond other baritones......even ones technically better. He makes me feel the torment of this character so deeply, where the other miss all the nuance that makes Milnes great. I also heard him in concert and he got to me so deeply I couldn't stand. My knees felt like water.
The soprano is very good, but has a sort of rattly resonance some may not like.
The tenor sucks, but he does get all the notes.
Paolo is very good with a better voice than you would expect in a small role.
Plishka.......Just before that last duet that tears me up, Simone informs Fiesco of the identify of his long lost granddaughter. You see old Fiesco, kept strong these 20 years by his hatred, suddenly melt into an old man.
Got to stop. I'm crying just thinking about it.
