Movie Reviews of Verdi - La Traviata
Movie Review: A musically superior Traviata
Summary: 5 Stars
The wonderful orchestral support from the Vienna Philharmonic and the splendid singing (yes, Netrebko included) provide evidence that Traviata stands up well musically when compared to Verdi's recognized late period masterpieces. The stark stage set may startle some, but it reflects Violetta's viewpoint: the sumptuous 19th century Paris mansion where she entertains "guests" is, for her, merely a drab workplace. The emotional effect is powerful, especially in the second act. Thomas Hampson's contributions are outstanding.Movie Review: The triumph of imagination !
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of Traviata was a real treat all the way through. The powerful sensuality, the minimalist designs, the sweeping flair, the volcanic chemistry between Netrebko and Villazon and the fabulous orchestral support make of this version a must-see.
Not recommended for moderate and traditionalists ones. If you want to open your mind respect innovativeness, this production awaits for you to watch it.
Totally recommended.
Movie Review: Simply the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved La Traviatta since I was 18 years old, when I first saw in the Guaira Theatre, here in Curitiba - Brazil. Later came Zeffirelli's movie, excellent too. Now I am 43 and I had the greatest surprise of seeing this opera in a different way, in a modern version, with a perfect couple and the greatest DTS sound, sorry neigborhoods, but I have to listen in a loud and clear sound, because is really wonderfull. As I said in the title: SIMPLY THE BEST.Movie Review: La Traviata
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this production of La Traviata on many levels. The music, of course, was superlative. It is such a pleasure to see opera that is beautifully acted, not just "park and bark." This has been a good trend and I'm glad to see it continuing and expanding. It's nice to see a believable couple that is inspiring. Anna Netrebko has full grasp of both the music and the heart of the heroine; Rolando Villazon is perfectly cast. It was a pleasure.Movie Review: Do not miss this!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most wonderful interpretations that I have ever heard. I own the lavish Zeffirelli production of La Traviata" and the stark contrast is impressive. This is in no way detrimental to either production. Each in its own different way is a masterful production. What I like about the Nebtrebko/Villazon interpretation is that their voices combined with their impressive acting skills, make this production one i will forever go back to.
