Movie Reviews of Verdi - Oberto
Movie Review: Oberto, Verdi's first opera, Not near his best
Summary: 4 Stars
Got to see this on Cablevision 714 Gallery channel that runs operas now every Sunday at noon and sometimes on Saturday as well.
Enjoyable viewing. Great video and audio. This is as far as I know the only DVD of Oberto and it just came out last month. Uncomplicated storyline. Ildar Abdrazakov is Oberto and he does his usual sturdy job. I was not overly impressed with the acting of either Carlo Ventre as Riccardo or Marianne Cornetti as Cuniza although their voices are fine, especially Cornetti. Evelyn Herlitzius as Leonora was in excellent form after getting very lukewarm or negative reviews recently in Germany. This was performed at the Bilbao Opera under the conductor Yves Abel who seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. It appeared at certain points that the singers were having a hard time keeping up with him. Early Verdi music was excellent and gave signs as to what would be coming. I would rate this better than satisfactory and give it 3 1/2 stars.
Worth having as the first of the Verdi operas
