Can anyone explain the bizarre setting?? This is not Verdi no matter how you want to interpret him. I also agree with Janie Larson that the soprano is in way over her head in terms of interpreting Verdi's great heroine, particularly up against Beczala who is a great interpreter of this role.
certo ,abiti moderni - ma nel primo atto c'erano costumi suppergiù d'epoca, con i colli "lattuga- scena spoglia e un impiccato per ricordare che cos'era questo campo... ma ben poco in confronto all'edizione Bieito del 2000, quella con le toilettes, i WC, per capirci...
Oh dear, what is happening to opera now? This dreadful setting and the costumes have nothing to do with the plot. This is not Verdi. And the singing is not that good. Beczala is now pushing his lyric voice too much to heavier roles and his vibrato became unpleasant to listen to. The soprano's voice is beautiful but she simply does not know what Verdi is about. Back to older recording of this masterpiece.
Horrible! Shame! All the phrases are torn, voices are not combined! This is pop music, not opera! A lot of movements and little sense! Listen to Stella and Di Stefano and hear the real Verdi!
Excelente!!!!
estuve en l representacion excelente un brabissimo rotundo
Un poquito frío todo...
Distancia brechtiana?
Beczala se empelotó en Rigoleto. Ha hecho de todo

Callas Di Stefano...
Me estoy poniendo viejo?
Seamos sinceros, di Stefano no tenía un lindo color de voz. Tenía otras virtudes pero su voz natural no era bella
Love Piotr! The soprano is most definitely the weak link here. She is serviceable at best....
What happened? Where are pharses please? This tempo is crazy, conducting like this is really unacceptable! Poor singers!
Este Señor Beksala tiene la voz ATRASSSSS ,LE FALTA CARNE!!!!😳

I keep hearing in my head the duet with Pavarotti and Price from a Met Gala that outshines every second of this mess.
No one can deny that Alkema is very sexy here, and she has quite a good voice - I agree this is not really how this work should be sung, though.
Terrible production from LICEU! If Verdi would have been alive he would have died the same day again...........
