Starring Renato Bruson, Ghena Dimitrova, and Paata Burchuladze. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A great performance, lousy staging.If this recording were sound only on a CD, I wouldn't hesitate in giving it 5 stars or whatever is the maximum. This would be in spite of the fact that the libretto is hilariously fictional. It isn't even Biblical, which is another sort of fiction. I strongly recommend you get the CD set if available, and avoid this visual dog of an opera. The cast is nothing short of being in glorious voice. Ricardo Muti's hand at the podium is firm, yet flexible, bringing out the strong sense of ...

This production stars Renato Bruson as the titular Babylonian tyrant, Ghena Dimitrova as the wicked Abigaille, Becaria in the tenor role of Ismaele, Pierotti as Ferena and Burchuladze as the Zaccaria the Priest. La Scala opera productions are top-notch, and the singers, even if some of them are not well-known, are of the highest calibre. Of the entire cast, ...

Rating: - An excellent performanceThis is an excellent traditional performance of a very good opera. Since it is an older recording, it is in 2 channel dolby rather than the newer surround formats, but that is not really a problem for me. Although the Metropolitan Opera DVD is also a great performance, I think this is a little better. |
