Movie Reviews of Verdi - Aida

Movie Review: Good singing, horrible video production
Summary: 3 Stars

The singing is acceptably good. But the super zooming every minute make it very tiresome to watch. And sometime it look out of focused. It's very luxury production by Zaferrelli, but I would say the MetOpera production is still a better choice. The stage is a bit small to fit all those people in this production.

Movie Review: AIDA IN LAS VEGAS
Summary: 1 Stars

This is Zeffirelli at his very worst. An incredibly tasteless and vulgar production, with more cheap gold than anyone could bear in a casino show and without a single original idea about the staging of this wonderful but overexposed opera. The level of incompetence is hard to beleive and La Scala has reached a new low in its undistinguished recent history. The Orchestra sounds very good, but Alagna is uncomfortable as Radames, with a voice inadequate for the role, although he does try. Urmana is somewhat better, but it isn't enough. To make things worse the video producer thinks he can improve this sad event with silly camera movements and very distressing close-ups of the fabrics of every costume! Do yourself a favour and totally ignore this release.
