Choreographic movements by Manuela Lo Sicco did not help. The adding to the opera and taking away some of the reality to put supernaturality into the stage, it was a hit and miss. Original blog post: The end of OD Travel in March: Berlin, Boccanegra and home.įor more reviews from my travels, see If you want to see more photos from my OperaDuets Travels, go to The staging and regie was in a way showing us a real Sevilla with a lot of reality but then Emma Dante had to add more to the stage. BRAVI!! And honorary mention to the rest of the cast:
Ferruccio Furlanetto as Fiesco, Ailyn Perez as Amelia, Aquiles Machado as Gabriele Adorno. I think I must cut short my review of this performance. pietà, gran Dio, del mio martiro!.Īnd then the duet with Amelia (Ailyn Perez). O inferno! Amelia qui! L'ama il vegliardo!. In act 2 came the great tenor aria "Sento avvampar nell'anima" with Aquiles Machado. During the performance one understood that Achiles Machado is at his limit in Gabriele Adorno but not in the degree that one cannot enjoy his voice throughout the opera. The Prologue and Act 1 is the same as on March 27, the only other is that I now know what and where is people coming and that I find Ailyn Perez even better. Of course you see more in the seats of the parkette but here one can see the whole stage at once and even the subtitling at on glance. This time my seat is on the 2nd balcony in the middle of the 2nd row. It was just the most perfect production.įor more reviews from my travels, see If you want to see more photos from my OperaDuets Travels, go to Simon Boccanegra (Verdi), Staatsoper (Berlin)Įin Hauptmann der Bogenschützen = James Homann This time I did not love the Giulietta act more the rest.
Serena Farnocchia was the most wonderful Olympia. Jane Archibald was the most amazing Olympia. Villazon was a great Hoffmann and by his side the true wonder of the evening Angela Brower as Nicklausse. In this performance I saw a promise to come back to greatness with some care. His voice is not as it used to be, they say.
Rolando Villazon was the best actor for this role and a good tenor, too. The parts with Placido was always the best and with Agnes Baltsa too, it became magic. The only part I could really enjoy was the Giulietta act and even Domingo could not make me enjoy the whole opera.
Having seen this opera before with Placido Domingo and Agnes Baltsa as Hoffmann and Giulietta, the video recording from Royal Opera House Covent Garden, I was not overly optimistic.
