Occupation? Waiting... waiting... WAITING! Having just found the Menotti Archive on youtube, I am working my way through it. Aside from the awesome music, I am always struck by the excellent theatrical touches.
@@Moyodsreds Voices and acting is priceless in this production. Finally! I found an amazing video to finally study this challenging and wonderful opera :))
Gian Carlo Menotti Archive Are there any DVDS Other than the 1960 one with Patricia Neway? Seems like we are long overdue for a more contemporary version
Oh, what a pity it's the revised version. Menotti went back and tacked an instrumental reprise of the "Now oh lips say goodbye" trio onto the end of the first interlude. (Did someone need extra time for scene change at some point?) That first interlude is so propulsive without it in the original, and this just wrecks that, for my money.
Stunning Peformances and Vocal Power!
A brilliant production that has reawakened my affection for Menotti's masterpiece. Rest in peace, Gian-Carlo.
It is truly a work of art

"Courage is often a lack of imagination!"
Curiositiy! What does this mean in tour opinion?
I always took it that sensitive/imaginative people make things harder by imagining/anticipating pain and torture.

First time I heard this version and I agree with you
Menotti stole the idea of a record playing at the beginning from Robbins/Bernstein's Fancy Free.
Opera intensa e avvincente, da annoverare tra i capolavori del '900. Troppo poco rappresentata in Italia.
