Die Fledermaus (the Royal Oper

Die Fledermaus (the Royal Oper

»rank: 16261

avec: 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 ...


Verdi - Otello / Solti, Domingo, Te Kanawa, Royal Opera Covent Garden

Verdi - Otello / Solti, Domingo, Te Kanawa, Royal Opera Covent Garden

»rank: 2673

avec: Kiri Te Kanawa, Robin Leggate, Sergei Leiferkus, Plácido Domingo, Claire Pochon
réalisé par: Brian Large, Elijah Moshinsky


Chroniques et points de vue:From :For those who want a home video that preserves the kind of treatment Verdi's 0tello gets in a first-class international opera house, this Solti-Domingo-Te Kanawa production from Covent Garden looks like the best bet. Neither Georg Solti's conducting nor Elijah Moshinsky's stage direction pulls any punches; this is presented clearly and forcefully as a drama of jealousy (lago's and 0tello's) destroying innocence (0tello's and Desdemona's), in which a military man from a primitive background is plunged into situations and perplexities that his life has not prepared him to handle. ...


Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus: Le Nozze Di Figaro

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus: Le Nozze Di Figaro

»rank: 5267

avec: Maria Ewing, Mirella Freni, Kiri Te Kanawa, Hermann Prey
réalisé par: Jean-Pierre Ponnelle


Chroniques et points de vue:From :Mozart's Marriage of Figaro is a comedy whose dark undertones explore the blurred boundaries between dying feudalism and emerging Enlightenment. Among dozens of fine Figaros on CD and DVD, few are as finely sung as this one, filmed in 1976 to a soundtrack recorded the previous year. Herman Prey's Figaro is admirably sung in a firm baritone and aptly characterized. So too, is his antagonist, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as the Count perpetually frustrated by the scheming wiles of Figaro and Susanna, here the perky Mirella Freni, who sings and acts ...


Puccini - Manon Lescaut / Sinopoli, Domingo, Te Kanawa, Allen, Royal Opera Covent Garden

Puccini - Manon Lescaut / Sinopoli, Domingo, Te Kanawa, Allen, Royal Opera Covent Garden

»rank: 10040

avec: 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: 28961

avec: 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 ...
