Movie Reviews of Verdi - La Traviata / Norah Amsellem, Jose Bros, Renato Bruson, Maria Espada, Jesus Lopez Cobos, Madrid Opera
Movie Review: Amsellem unbelievable
Summary: 5 Stars
I caught this on HDTV: Norah Amsellem is both gorgious and a fabulous singer. When I say fabulous, I do not mean that she has the vocal resources of young Callas or Ponselle, I mean that taken together her vocal and acting portrayal make for an extremely moving performance. The criticisms that I read on UTube are correct, she does sing off-tune in Act I. But who cares? The notes are all there and well supported. Verdi is not about fioritura anyway, but drama. Acts 2 and 3 are a different kettle of fish anyway, and the woman's singing is sensitive in every way possible. We all know the libretto by heart and in our mind we hope for certain musical points, all of which she hits, just like Callas and Ponselle did. Plus, and I am sorry to be so direct, but what Violetta has this woman's body? Her portrayal makes Violetta the woman-to-be-desired that she must be, worth all the fuss that men make over her.
