DVD Reviews of Verdi - La Traviata
DVD Review: La traviata
Summary: 2 Stars
Well Allazon and Netrebko are in fine voice but this stark brutal version is not for me. It's more like Traviata by Brecht than by Verdi and what is more there are moments of sheer vulgarity throughout particularly in Act 3. Doing it different, don't make it better. I prefer the version from La Scala with the exquisite Gheorghiu.DVD Review: Music and theatric symbolism create a unique Traviata
Summary: 5 Stars
The publicity and hype that accompanied this production of Traviata, along with some less than favorable reviews, made me ignore it until quite recently. When I finally bought this DVD, I was absolutely stunned by its emotional power and impact.
A drama is unfolding in front of us, with the omnipresent Fate (or perhaps Death?) confronting the heroine sentenced to permanent stage presence, on the stage of her life that is running out too fast. She must face the large wall clock whose time is accelerating her to untimely death. What time is it? We never exactly know, but certainly we feel that it is too late, far too late for everything, for love and happiness, and for normal life... Just before her death, the Fate becomes her doctor, only to tell that she has but a few hours to live. The minimalistic approach, the stark empty stage with its clock and with the red or white sofa, combined with the outstanding singing and acting by the principals (especially by Anna and Rolando), creates the most powerful and unique experience I have ever seen in an Opera. The musical and emotional impact of this production is totally unique and unforgettable.
I am unable to add anything novel or original to the existing descriptions of the unique dark timbre and exceptional beauty of Anna's voice. It grew onto me slowly but steadily until she won me over completely, especially by her recent recordings including the Russian album, the Souvenirs, the Manon (also with Villazon), and I Capuletti e i Montecchi (with Elina Garanca). Anna sings gorgeously and seemingly effortlessly in almost any body position, something quite unseen before. Currently there seem to be no limit whatsoever to what she could do. Fortunately she is sufficiently different from the other leading contemporary sopranos, especially from Angela Gheorghiu (my other favorite), that there is no real competition there. Anna's voice blends especially well with the mezzo voice of Elina Garanca, and I am very much looking forward to their future joint productions.
DVD Review: La Traviata Netrebko Villazon
Summary: 5 Stars
The most wonderfull La Traviata ever made ,with the greatest opera singers in the world. DVD Review: La Traviata
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm super bias on this make of La Traviata. It's the modern world of opera; besides, it's my favorite opera. I've seen the stage La Traviata over 15 times in 7 different states, and no matter where I see it, I just can't get enough. Anna and Rolando are just extraordinary. Who needs props when you have two of the greatest performers, and their voices can't be compared to any other in this world. If you like modern and are willing to take a chance on a totally different presentation of opera, I would highly recommend this DVD. LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!!! The BEST!!!DVD Review: Muy buena elecci?n
Summary: 5 Stars
Desde que escuche a Anna y a Rolando Villaz?n en Duets, me gust? la potencia de la voz de esta joven y guapa mujer. Muy rica en tonalidades, buenos logros en su incipiente trabajo como cantante de Opera y en esta producci?n muy moderna, muy ?gil y ligera. Vale la pena ver toda la obra, el montaje tan simple y a la vez tan abierto al espacio donde se juega con la mente del espectador. Bravo por Anna, Villaz?n en b?squeda de su yo y alej?ndose de su Alter Ego Placido Domingo. Buen tipo, muy profesional, sensible y todav?a nada de divo. Pareja sensual que vale la pena escuchar y ver...
