Movie Reviews of Verdi - La Traviata / Rudel, Sills, Price, Fredricks, Wolf Trap Festival
Movie Review: Magnificent
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the quality of this DVD is not the best - it is a remake of a VHS from the 70s - it is still fantastic. Beverly Sills is heavenly, and If she indeed was 50 at the time, she was still beautiful. Henry Price as Alfredo is amazing, his buttery voice just flows. Richard Fredricks is second to none. I have not seen or heard a better Germont.
One of the best Traviatas.
Summary of Verdi - La Traviata / Rudel, Sills, Price, Fredricks, Wolf Trap Festival
How can you possibly go wrong with this one? One of the most popular of all operas starring one of the most popular of all opera stars singing one of her true signature roles--it's a no-brainer. This 1976 performance from the Filene Center of Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts in Virginia stars Beverly Sills in all her silky voiced glory. As Violetta, Verdi's most sympathetic tragic heroine, America's most beguiling diva is pitch-perfect all the way through several of the composer's miraculously melodic arias. Her lover, Alfredo, is played by Henry Price, who holds his own admirably with the superstar. Verdi specialist Julius Rudel conducts a finely detailed account of the score, and Tito Capobianco's production is an appropriate primer for novice opera fans--the vivid sets and costumes never detract from the central love story. Kirk Browning's straightforward video direction follows suit. --Kevin FilipskiArt House & International DVD Video
