Movie Reviews of Verdi - Macbeth / Alvarez, Guleghina, Scandiuzzi, Berti, Alberdi, Campanella, Barcelona Opera
Movie Review: Great staging/costuming concepts
Summary: 5 Stars
This production has many great things going for it. The singing is really wonderful, Carlos Alvarez and Maria Guleghina are a great match to play the overly ambitious Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. It is obvious to see why the role of Lady Macbeth has become a specialty for Maria Guleghina. The staging (by Phyllida Lloyd) and sets/ costumes (Anthony Ward) were probably my favorite part of the entire production. The sets really symbolized Verdi's dark tinta in the music. To emphasize the greedy nature of Macbeth and his wife the only color other than black (and some white for contrast) that was used on stage was gold. In this opera the sets and costuming really did the underlying themes of good v evil, darkness v light, and greed justice. My only complaint is with the orchestra; they were definitely not on the same level as the singers. I would say that the strings in the orchestra were the weakest link in the entire production. Fortunately with the great singing, costumes, sets, and staging it is easy to ignore and forget about the string section, thus making this production very enjoyable.
