 Rating: - A GrabberEver since I first watched one of Petr Weigl's opera/movies I have been a fan of that type of treatment -- when it is done well. For example, a major problem is lip-synching, but this can easily be taken care of by having the actors sing on set while the sound track is playing. The freedom of the setting and camera treatment add a new dimension. There have been many extremely successful movie versions: in addition to those of Weigl, there are, for example, Ponnelle's "Rigoletto", Karajan's "Pag ...

The action is set in most realistic places and the costumes are very good. All the singers look their parts, particularly our drum major. All act extremely well and the singing good to excellent. but I do not have a score. So why not 5 stars? On occasion the orchestra overloads the sound track causing some distortion, and secondly, it is a film. As a staged opera during interludes ... Read More |
