Editorial Reviews:
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Will not play on PAL only system Comment: Cannot comment on the quality, this DVD will not play on a PAL only system. Perhaps I am a dinosaur, but should`nt this be made clear? Customer Rating: Summary: daipenn Comment: an excelent performance both in voice and staging as a new opera person it gave me a taste for more. i go by who is staging it and the known singers but take into account multiple reviews Customer Rating: Summary: Delightful Comment: Was lucky enough to see this delightful production again at the Royal Opera House last night with Mackerras conducting gloriously. It is pure delight from start to finish , my only quibble the cast milling around during the Count's Act 3 aria but otherwise simply superb up there with the 1994 Glyndebourne production. Pappano conducts with a very sure touch and Finaly and Persson are particularly fine. Customer Rating: Summary: A funny wedding Comment: I have the Böhm / Ponnelle version of this opera and I like it very much. The main characters in that version are credible and real life persons. It is a serious aproach. Only the lesser roles are one dimensional (specially dr Bartolo). This ROH version emphasis the funny part of the opera. The count giving away his cover as he finds out that Cherubino has interest in his wife. Figaro limping away as he says he hurts his foot after jumping from the balcony and running back as he tries to get the letter from the gardiner. The countess and Susanna taking interest in Cherubino as he is dressed as a girl. Not over the edge as in the Salzburg production, but in a amusing way. The audience is picking this up and is laughing about the visual and textual jokes. The choreograhy is very much inspired by the music. This works out well. Recommended as an enjoyable lighter version of the Nozze di Figaro. Customer Rating: Summary: Other reviews are not for this DVD! Comment: This is the page for the wonderful ROH production. All the other reviews in this section are for a Salzburg production. Don't know what that is like, but this - the ROH production - is great, with a believably young and predatory Count, a splendid Susanna (Persson) and so on. Amazon - please sort! More Reviews
