DVD Reviews of Verdi - La Traviata / Levine, Stratas, Domingo

DVD Review: A mixed bag
Summary: 3 Stars

Domingo sings beautifully, Stratas less so but looks and acts the part. The biggest problem is there are so many cuts and shortened arias that you could almost call this "extended highlights". And Zeferelli over-produces, particularly with camera work. If you want a movie version get Anna Moffo's of over 30 years ago. Now there was a Violetta!

DVD Review: wonderful production
Summary: 5 Stars

Verdi - La Traviata / Levine, Stratas, DomingoI saw this production in 1986 and I was so impressed with this performance that I always want to have this particular version of la Traviata. I saw this DVD when I received this one a couple of weeks ago and my opinion didn't change.

DVD Review: Stratas/Domingo La Traviata
Summary: 5 Stars

Saw it years ago when it first came out and it seems to have improved over time....as for Stratas:
'Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety'

DVD Review: The definitive Traviata production
Summary: 5 Stars

You won't find a better one. Not just a filming of a stage production but a sumptuous movie rendition. Incredible staging and lighting with terrific casting. Domingo in his prime, and Stratas is one of the leading singing actresses of her generation.

Only minor downside is the subtitles include the hearing impaired queues, but if/once you know the story, just turn them off.

DVD Review: OPera at its best
Summary: 5 Stars

This film of one of the best loved operas is brilliant both in performance and setting. Even someone who does not attend the opera cannot fail to enjoy and be moved by this production.
