Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: Excellent DVD. Singers are wonderful: quality singing, marvelous acting, highly believable in their roles, great chemistry. At first I thought I would not like this spare, modernistic production; instead if anything it allows the spectator to become more fully immersed with the characters and in the wonderful interpretations by Netrebko, Villazon, and Hampson. Sound and vision are also excellent Customer Rating: Summary: A great take on a classic opera Comment: I loved the version I saw of at the Met in New York but I thought that, despite their individual performances, there was something missing between the leads. The sets were extravagant complete with the entire third act set rising through the floor. The costumes were likewise extravagant and faithful to their time period. Despite all the things the Met version had, seeing this stripped down version, I can see what it was missing: chemistry between the two leads which is not a problem with this Villazon/Netrebko production. Here I believed the leads were actually in love with each other rather than just in love with hearing their own voices. Here the focus was on the two lovers, the father's interjection of duty, and the menacing clock ticking away. Awesome. Customer Rating: Summary: Glorious Traviata Comment: Netrebko and Villazon are perfect lovers and both can act and sing gloriously. I admit I am a smitten fan of Netrebko and consider myself lucky to own this very interesting and beautiful performance. The ovations from the audience who have heard everything and everyone are ear shattering. Viva Netrebko and Villazon. Be advised the staging is original and unfamiliar. But it works and allows for some very erotic singing by the leads. Customer Rating: Summary: One of the bests performances of this opera.Is obliged to have Comment: the performance of the tree singuers that have the key roles,soprano,tenor and bariton is unique,the ebst that I have heard. Customer Rating: Summary: La Traviata DVD Comment: Absolutely fantastic performance and recording of La Traviata. Netrebko & Villazon are so wonderful (What voices!); the modernistic, bare bones staging is right on the mark; and the videography is superb as well. A "Must Have" DVD for any opera fan. More Reviews
