DVD Reviews of Monteverdi - L'Incoronazione Di Poppea / Leppard, Ewing, Bailey, Duesing, Lloyd, Gale, Clarey, Glyndebourne
DVD Review: A fine production with several wonderful singers
Summary: 4 Stars
Maria Ewing is as beautiful and sexy as everyone says, but she is not the only attraction! Several of the supporting cast are equally fine. Now I don't have a complete cast list--there is nothing on the package saying who plays Poppea's nurse, Arnalta, but whoever she is she's an abundant, beautiful mezzo. The sopranos who sing Drusilla, the Damigella, and Amore are also wonderful, as are the supporting tenors, who play Nero's singing buddy ("Cantia-a-a-a-a-am!") and the Valetto. Best of all is Robert Lloyd, who sings Seneca with seemingly-limitless depth, and gives the character all his irritating mannerisms.
The weaknesses include Dennis Bailey's hoarse-sounding Nero, and Cynthia Clarey's thin Ottavia. Ottone is sung by a baritone rather than by the more traditional countertenor.
The sets and costumes are traditional, although the acting is unusually sexy for this period. It's not just Ewing; the flirtatious scene between the Valetto and Damigella ("Sento un certo non so che...") is quite racy.
