| I love this opera, and recordings of it are in short supply, so I actually bought this DVD (and the Glyndebourne one as well) just to hear some different renditions of this wonderful music. Both DVDs are good, but Roschmann's singing is a revelation! Anna Caterina Antonacci, on Glyndebourne's DVD, is a bit stretched by the tessitura of the part, but Roschmann has the coloratura, volume, and luminous shimmering tone that sets her apart from any other voice I have heard in the role. Her acting is ... Read More: |

| It'll probably enrage purists, so maybe not the best introduction to one of Mozart's best operas. But the singing and the acting is marvellous and there's not a boring moment in it. It'll maybe take a second or even third viewing to enjoy it as there are so many things happening at the same time but once you get it, it's great.
Deserves a positive review to the negative ones expressed here. |

| I bought this DVD because I have heard Kasarova singing several times and I admired it, also I loved the productions in Munich opera house.
I have not seen this alive performance in Munich and was very exctited when I started to watch this DVD. Now I am listening the opera and wrtiting this review because I cannot take it any longer. I love this opera and it is hurtful to see what they did with it. Totally idiotic : angel turn to the clown with naked baby doll and so on... I am sorry but please, just buy ... Read More: |
