1.Mozart - Cosi Fan Tutte [2006] starring: Topi Lehtipuu, Luca Pisaroni, Nicolas Rivenq, Miah Persson, Anke Vondung directed by: Nicholas Hytner March 05, 2007

Despite going to the opera for the first time when I was 7, it's taken me more than 20 years to really appreciate the artform and I've recently begun collecting DVDs. This production was the first Così I ever heard or saw and - having seen a few more since then - will likely be the last. If I lost my mind and decided to watch it with the sound muted, I'd still be thoroughly entertained - the comic and dramatic talents of the players here is unsurpassable! I'm particularly fond of Anke Vondung's ditzy Dorabella, but everyone is amazing. I must say that the setting and costumes (no turbans, thank God!) adds to the already potent mixture. The clear and crisp sound of Fischer's well-conducted period instruments is pure joy. The four principal singers ... Read More:

I saw "Les Paladins" twice at the Chatelet Theatre in Paris - in 2004 and 2006 - and now I'm about to see the dance numbers from it at the Edinburgh Festival (tonight, as it happens!!). It's the sort of show I would go to see again and again. In fact, I'd never seen anything like it before. As a theatrical spectacle it's just amazing. The dancers are a mixture, drawn both from the classical ballet tradition - and from the hip-hop and break-dancers that flourish in the housing schemes that surround Paris (and it's them who make the production absolutely unique in my experience). There are constant, fantastical back-projections, and a multi-level stage - so that the dancers continually appear and reappear, dancing at times WITH back-projections of exotic beasts. ...

3.Troyens - Hector Berlioz, Les [2004] starring: Susan Graham, Anna Caterina Antonacci, Gregory Kunde, Ludovic Tézier, Laurent Naouri directed by: Peter Maniura August 30, 2004

As ever so often with the house of BBC Opus Arte, this is an outstanding product, with superior packaging and domumentation, hair-rising state of the art sonics and video quality, and relevant and interesting material supplementary to the main "feature" (a full-length documentary on the production itself deriving from a BBC TV programme, with interviews with the main singers, the conductor and the producer and a sound -i.e., read- detailed synopsis of the opera's plot with visual references to the performance itself). "The Trojans" is nor precisely a repertory work so these extra items do mean an important advantage. In fact, there's practically nothing at fault here, although not all reviews in this site are favourable. I suppose US viewers will find ... Read More:
