[Atnimnjin]

Who is director of this Traviata?

[mossymoth]

@Atnimnjin Carlo Rizzi

[Atnimnjin]

@mossymoth Bravo, thanks!

[ebarraganm]

Maravillosa puesta en escena.

[MrRubenGNavarro]

Perfect.



[TheMandalakind]

mit geschlossenen Augen gennießen und vor Glück abheben!

[obilicevvenac]

Outstanding production! This is the way opera should be performed today (Bob Wilson would love this). Great Rolando, sensuous Anna...

Forget once for all clumsy ladies in ridiculous costumes, stiff male singers and poor inscenation. Thanks Salzbourg!

[sweettyo]

beautiful

[flon5flon]

The setting of the stage seems to me more "Off the Road" (Tra Viata) than the beautiful Verdi-music and Violetta Valéry. The prelude is played mechanically and the acting senseless.

Opera in crisis.

[zup411]

@flon5flon I do not agree with the comment you made. I find that with the more modernist setting and its plain feel, focuses the audience attention more precisely on the sound not the visual artfulness of the Victorian age with all the gaudy clothing. I do like the classical themed settings in operas and I believe that Verdi would be furious if he saw this, however the essence of l'opera is obvious in this La Traviatta.

Opera in essence. "Everyone's a critic"

[flon5flon]

@zup411 Hello, Thanks for your honest reaction. Yes, we are all critics and cannot sing a single note most of the times (at least I cannot!).

I thought of Glenn Gould: let's stick to fabulous recordings in the past and the future.

[nestorarq]

brillante versión...!!!!!!!!

[Agodipino]

orrendo il coro e lei pure

[esden706]

Nice dress!

[georgerannie]

She can indeed sing--brava.

[ThPaw]

Ich bewundere diese Aufführung mit ihrer wundervollen Anna Netrebko. Besonders gelungen ist hier auch die Verbindung von Oper und Tanztheater. Die Overtüre wird hier auch sehr schön tänzerisch dargestellt. Ich bin begeistert. Wirklich einzigartig.

[TCNJHarpist]

apparently 26 people hate coming home from a party to find their Doctor sitting next to their oversized clock.

I saw the closing performance of this production at the Met and it was flawless, I like it so much better than the Covet Garden performance I have!

[Marg002]

I don't like the orchestral playing.  Why so choppy and energetic, when the music is about anything BUT that?

[vivacecilia]

Pessima direzione!!!violini fortissimi che coprono il canto del violoncello

[Camilo870913]

La traviata es de las operas mas hermosas que he escuchado.

[isidrorayestaran]

IMPRESIONANTE PUESTA EN ESCENA!!!!

Mil felicidades por compartirlo

[papagena92]

[mannousha]

[marlowecraft]

@mannousha thank you very much for thou comment , have a nice evening

[Royhorse1]

Hammer is not a reliable person, hammer speak ill of his friends and allies.

[Bipidibuda]

Fabulous! Better then any other Violetta I have seen or heard. So marvelous that even scary. Bravissimo Anna.

[karisafi77]

La obra completa el bellísima y distinta a todo lo anterior.

[imssolente1]

@karisafi77

estimado, te falta ver ,as cosas

[buttercup180]

This is it! There are no words available to describe such a beauty.

[teleblanx]

I can't believe the stage is so small.

[09avenger]

Traviata - Ms. Netrebko displayed ample power, coloratura bravura with a marvelous tone Having recently heard Natalie Dessay sing Sempre Libera at the Met Gala, one was impressed by the legato nature of Netrebko's portray in contrast to Dessay's intentional staccato, fragmented phrasing interpretation. Having also seen photos of Fleming in her current Violetta at the ROH, one can only marvel at Netrebko's resilience, endurance and commitment to bel canto opera.

[lorelei559]

Anna and Rolando are perfect for these roles, like I ever imagine Alfredo/Violeta, Armand/Marguerite, I saw different interpretation (I'm not an experet)but in the one with Sutherland/Pavarotti even sound very good I couldn't watch them (such an old Violetta...), in Bucharest Opera Alfredo even didn't touch Violetta, very cold with each other... This is my favorite, between Anna and Rolando you can see love like Dumas and Verdi wanted.

[lorelei559]

Very beautiful!

[Johnnocp]

Well she is playing someone who is dieing of tuberculosis.

[nelgnhog]

her legs are so white.

[Henry85th]

She's wearing stockings maybe.

[sorkin77]

[wolfgangtheophilus]

tengo este DVD,Ana y Rolando estan muy bien, Hampson no acaba de llegar a la perfeccion, y alguna excentricidad de Decker, but in general, it,s good

[brookieviv]

por que usa ingles Y espanol? jaja

[mushroom681]

I would love to have seen this.

[mydiorella]

She's so much more enjoyable than Dessay, for sure! I love Anna. She's like the Svetlana Zakharova of the opera world....controversial, stunning, sometimes too perfect yet not textbook perfect and Russian!

[marnier910]

My favorite is La Boheme.

[vivlingdarling]

hey mine used to be too, but now i think la traviata and la boheme are tied. but i'm fairly new to opera. so its always liable to change.

[lorelei559]

you"re right!

[justingabionza]

This is my favorite opera of Anna.

[justingabionza]

Nice dress!

[justingabionza]

Why is she frozen at the beginning?

[aklev77]

Anna is close to perfect (and who is??) but the the problem is that Dessay's fans (or relatives?) have launched a dirty compain of hate, they bash Anna all over utube. At the same time if you try to go to Dessay's or Domrau's page and post a note they prevent you from leaving one. It is obvious that something is going on. Does anyone know what can be done about that?

[spgtenor]

Very creative staging with the overture. Unfortunately, you'll rarely see something like this done in America (god forbid we should break from tradition). Usually just the standard: The curtain hangs, the music plays yet nobody really cares, people make noise while they shuffle through their programs, and then when someone sings, the opera starts.

[LilMack549]

You'll be happy to know that this production is coming to the MET in the 2010-2011 season, then!

[patrickjohn84]

They're doing La Traviata in 09-10 season too. I don't think it's this same production, though.

[omarbearcub]

Has anyone seen the version at the train station of zurich?..(In french subttitles and german) this one , has an innovative cast and state of art artistic production...

[sorkin777]

I agree completely OperaGIRL777! These people are underachievers, who cannot deal with envy and jealousy. Anna is an amassing soprano and a gorgeous woman. She is still young and she gets better and better in her acting singing and everything!

Anna was named operas leading lady in a March 27th of 2009 story in the The Times (UK) titled The 20 Best Classical Divas.

AND IT IS TIME FOR NETREBKO HATERS TO SHUT UP!

[omarbearcub]

Que làstima que los directores artisticos "eruditos de hoy "copien todos los conceptos de escenografia minimalista y postmodernista de los inicios de la opera del festival de Bayreuth con las operas de Wagner muy aptas para este tipo, en esta parece una Carmen muy extrovertida!! ...las voces igual ..flojas en especial de la Netrebko muy forzada en los Do de pecho y los sotenidos, mucho aire...Villazon, mas fresco..

[gene53945]

A usted ¿qué le parecen las versiones de Zeffirelli, tanto la de 2002 como la del 1982 excelente interpretación?

[rigoletto800]

Independientemente de ello (estoy totalmente de acuerdo con usted), creo que esta versión es una de las más acertadas en cuanto a la interpretación del director. No sé si usted la ha podido ver entera, pero la segunda parte tiene algunas variaciones importantes del libreto (sin mover, eso sí, ni una coma) en las acotaciones. Y en cuanto al minimalismo en esta ocasión vuelve a ser acertado. Los elementos (reloj, camelia, vestido rojo, traje de Arturo) varían y se convierten en narrativa

[gene53945]

Le he respondido en su perfil.

[omarbearcub]

Creo que estas en lo cierto, quisiera preguntarle si ha observado la version de la Traviata at la garè d'zurich, una mravilla aunque las voces no sean tan trabajadas es muy fresca y me parece super interesante la interaccion del publico que esta en la misma escena, se la recomiendo. Finalmente considero que artisticamente esta muy por encima la version de Netrebko-Villazòn ,excepto por el brindis con cerveza....

[rigoletto800]

Pues no la he visto, omarbearcub, pero la buscaré. gracias por el soplo!

[JcoeurR]

It's very beautifull!!

Can you upload the part of prelude which misses? PLEASE!!!!!!!

[BoyGeorgeBeauty]

This is a beautiful opera. i cried so hard! it reminds me of art. the voices blend and mix like colourful shades of paint on an artist's canvas.

[fannybond]

nice red panties hahahaha

[xgianpatrick]

Why does this comment get -5? Other than throwing up, this is the only other appropriate reaction.

[OperaGIRL777]

Wow Patrick! You are still here critisizing Anna! By now one would have thought that since you are so disgusted by her that you would stop watching her videos. But the fact that you are still here critisizing shows your true jealousy.

[xgianpatrick]

The darts will be retired when she stops getting paid to burp on the world's stages. Those tits won't hold up forever; the voice exited years ago.

[OperaGIRL777]

Oh please give me a break! Stop giving me all of this same crap that you have been saying in every other one of your comments. Be original! Come up with a good excuse why you cannot stop critisizing her! Because you keep confirming your jealousy of her.

[bullets4ever]

you know, I think this was a damn good prelude, for a "cheap" production". This is the best prelude I have yet to hear out of an opera. oh and btw It doesn't make mutch sence 2 slander something, when it is not their place 2 protest.

[Medora12]

by the way I think it is not meant to be Germont but Verdi-makes more sense

[dominique0711]

No, it´s the doctor who arrives in the last scene so he´s supposed to be death in a way...

[Medora12]

Roman empire also thought ther're the cantre of the world and eternal.and where are they now?Americans are much like Romans you know..

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Sandrik-Now be a good boy, crawl back to the crap hole in your native Georgia and face your inferiority complex.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

As a 26 yo Georgian student with no prospects into the future, you should worry about putting food on the table. What you're feeding yourself with is provided as a donation by major nations. Begging is easy for which Georgia is very well known. Producing wealth is not -something Georgia has never accomplished. Your poverty and destitute has rotten your brain already.

[Charccy]

Hahaha, ROFL!! squalid beeing, needs urgently compulsory medical help. Sorry, you just signed in the name of a "major nation"!

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

You already were deleted as a nation Sandrik. You were re-instated to serve some great nations Get a clue you little fiddlestick. Learn from your submissive ancestors, and get used to the concept of being subservient. Then we might let you live. If not, we'd delete you once again to be re-instated whenever needed. Make sure you're useful in some capacity.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Silv94-Giorgio Germont's mission is top secret. Even he doesn't know what he's supposed to do! :)

[sandrik100]

Your wretched words are deleted! So will be deleted U.S.A.!!!!!

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

Thanks for the correction on the spelling of La Traviate. Why should I make a better one? I am the customer who demands a better "product". By the way, I have seen this performance live; thankyouveramuch.

[TheInquisitive4Ever]

This is the cheapest production of La Traviate I have ever seen. It is simply tasteless, and geared for the masses. I wouldn't be surprised if pop-opera sinks even lower that this.

[Alfencequinty]

Make one better then.  - It's La Traviata, by the way

[Blumenmaedchen91]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[URJoschi]

such a beautiful Prelude!

[silvr94]

I still do not understand what Giorgio Germont is doing in the Prelude, not even speaking of the 1st act!!!!???

Ich verstehe immer noch nicht, wieso Giorgio Germont in der Ouvertüre zu sehen, abgesehen von dem 1. Akt!!!!???

[rocinanteColombia]

He is a foreshadowing. The prelude beginning predicts the outcome of the opera and here can be looked upon as a subconscious interlude of what is yet to come. Although Germont does not get in Violeta's head until their duet (the center piece of the entire opera) he ultimately controls the outcome. See how she pleads with him and he walks away? By the way I don't care for non traditional productions but for the small bit I've seen I think it works.

[killtampabay]

It's not actually Giorgio. I think maybe it's the doctor. Either way, if you watch some of the clips from the second act you'll see that it isn't Giorgio.

[oclhie]

que director de escena! es penoso, si no fuera por la belleza de netrebko...

[hipopion]

no tienes ni idea

[annavalk]

Замечательно!!!!!Велеколепно!! это лучшая постановка "Травиаты" которую я видела в своей жизни...Анна, Браво!!
