Die Fledermaus (the Royal Oper»rank: 16261avec: Hildegarde Heichele, Kiri Te Kanawa, Benjamin Luxon, Hermann Prey
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Most opera houses ring in the New Year with Johann Strauss Jr.'s most popular operetta--the festiveness of which is appropriate for the occasion--and this December 31, 1983, Covent Garden performance follows suit. An exceptional cast--led by Hermann Prey and Kiri Te Kanawa as the couple whose marriage survives the comic indiscretions of three long acts--obviously has as much fun as the audience. Plácido Domingo leads the 0rchestra of the Royal 0pera House through its paces with panache. Prince 0rlofsky's Act ll party is always a splendid opportunity to pull ... |

Puccini - Manon Lescaut / Sinopoli, Domingo, Te Kanawa, Allen, Royal Opera Covent Garden»rank: 10040avec: Kiri Te Kanawa, Plácido Domingo, Forbes Robinson, Thomas Allen
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Placido Domingo and Kiri Te Kanawa were in top form vocally when this performance was recorded in 1984; Sinopoli's conducting is energetic and stylistically distinctive, and the staging strikes the proper notes of elegance in the early scenes and pathos in the tragic conclusion. This is not the only good video recording of Puccini's first masterpiece, but it ranks with the best. Manon Lescaut is the story of a beautiful young woman who goes astray en route to a convent and drifts into life of self-indulgence, sexual exploitation, and ... |

Der Rosenkavalier (the Royal O»rank: 28961avec: Francisco Araiza, Barbara Bonney, Brigitte Fassbaender, Aage Haugland, Anne Howells
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This Rosenkavalier is a nearly perfect combination of music, singers, staging, and conducting. lt examines the whole spectrum of love from every perspective: youthful idealism, consenting adultery, predatory lechery, and autumnal regrets. Richard Strauss's music is exquisite; the emotional climate includes tenderness, sophistication, and sentimentality, with a healthy dose of near-slapstick. This is a treatment to live with on a desert island. Kiri Te Kanawa garners most of the acclaim in what is probably her best role, but the entire cast is superbly chosen and works together in fine-tuned ... |
