Movie Reviews of Verdi - La Traviata

Movie Review: Absolutely fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars

All the five star reviews say it all. There is nothing to add. A magic moment in the history of performed art. The rumours of riduculos prices on the black market are obviously true. The performance and production is above almost everything. The "Opera Fancy Pants" are always looking for something to complain about. But, for the rest of us, this production and the performers is just fabulous. This is the best music DVD ever, any category of music. If you ever doubted, the opera art is alive and kicking. Buy it, relax and just enjoy it! Over and over again. The better your HiFi the more you will enjoy it. If you are going to buy just one music DVD in your life - this is it.

Movie Review: Fantastic Interpretation!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really think this version is superb. I have the Gheorghiu disk and it is a dreadful bore by comparison. The added character of the doctor/time figure really works and Violetta's presence during the scene in the Paris apartment also works just fine for me.

The chemistry between Netrebko and Villazon is wonderful. The acting of the entire cast is so great! The voices are amazing, sound quality great... Everything about this production is wonderful!

The minimal set really sets the attention on the singing and acting. The voices are so clear and articulate with the primaries mic'd individually.

A great disc. Most highly recommended.

Movie Review: Muy buena elección
Summary: 5 Stars

Desde que escuche a Anna y a Rolando Villazón en Duets, me gustó la potencia de la voz de esta joven y guapa mujer. Muy rica en tonalidades, buenos logros en su incipiente trabajo como cantante de Opera y en esta producción muy moderna, muy ágil y ligera. Vale la pena ver toda la obra, el montaje tan simple y a la vez tan abierto al espacio donde se juega con la mente del espectador. Bravo por Anna, Villazón en búsqueda de su yo y alejándose de su Alter Ego Placido Domingo. Buen tipo, muy profesional, sensible y todavía nada de divo. Pareja sensual que vale la pena escuchar y ver...

Movie Review: Monument to Giuseppe Verdi
Summary: 5 Stars

We shall never know, but we can wonder. What if we could send a copy of the DVD of this production to Giuseppe today? What would he think? Would he feel that his production had been chopped of its original force? Would he think that the modern audience had misunderstood his intention? I think not. I think he would have been happily encouraged that his production entailed such depth that it could be understood on a completely new level. O joy! What art! I love the voice of Anna Netrebko, her understanding and composition of the part. Bravo! May we have many more delights as great as this one.

Movie Review: La Traviata
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm super bias on this make of La Traviata. It's the modern world of opera; besides, it's my favorite opera. I've seen the stage La Traviata over 15 times in 7 different states, and no matter where I see it, I just can't get enough. Anna and Rolando are just extraordinary. Who needs props when you have two of the greatest performers, and their voices can't be compared to any other in this world. If you like modern and are willing to take a chance on a totally different presentation of opera, I would highly recommend this DVD. LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!!! The BEST!!!
