¡Verdi: Don Carlo(French): P.konwitschny De Billy / Vienna State Opera Vargas Skovhus
¡Bertrand de Billy (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] Verdi's "Don Carlo" was performed by La Scala in Milan last year and is scheduled to be performed by the Metropolitan Opera in Japan in June 2011. The production on this DVD is not the Italian version in four acts, which is usually performed, but the original French version in five acts (including scenes that were cut from the premiere), and is a huge 247-minute performance including ballet scenes. Of course, the complete performance is recorded. This is a valuable video that allows the viewer to rediscover the true value of Verdi's grand opera. What makes this video even more valuable is the spectacular production by the genius Konwitschny. The thrilling production transforms the entire hall into a stage, mixing social satire and humor to provide a novel experience that transcends the boundaries of opera appreciation. The singers are also powerful! Ramon Vargas and Iano Tamar support the music with solid singing, and Skoufus and Miles also give a truly unique flavor in both singing and acting. Nadia Michael, who plays Eboli, is a particularly strong presence in this production, and she plays this important role with her beauty, fine acting, and superb singing. Billy's conducting is also extremely fluid! His skill in putting together this blockbuster production is outstanding.
