Movie Reviews of Verdi - Rigoletto / Kraus, Nucci, Serra, Pertusi, Vespasiani, Malvisi, Nosotti, Campori, Teatro Regio Parma
Movie Review: Audio weak and lighting horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
Trust me. Don't buy this DVD. I understand that Kraus is a wonderful Duke and Nucci a top-notch Rigoletto. The problem is not with the singers. The problem is that the makers of this DVD/video should never have tried to sell it commercially. The production values are terrible.
The sound quality is about a C- and the lighting is a solid F. For example, the scene in Act I where Rigoletto meets Sparafucile is all but completely dark. For a few moments I thought my TV tube was broken.
Even when you can see what is going on, it is very poorly lit. There are other Rigoletto DVD's (e.g. one with Placido Domingo as the Duke) that are professionally produced. This one is an insult to the Maestro, Guiseppe Verdi who would hire Sparafucile to deal with whoever was responsible for selling this for 20 scudi. (or whatever)
