@andrea225high well that is your opinion. As far as I am concerned time period have nothing to do with it. La Traviata is a love story and the time period doesn't matter. If you want to go by composers original intent Verdi he wanted Traviata to be REAL. He fought to have a contemporary production even though the opera house wanted it to be set in the 1700s. Verdi won and modern productions were staged. I am happy artists have liberty to tell the story many times in different ways.
I think I have this bit on permanent repeat on my iPod. Netrebko is amazing it's like she always has 'another gear' and she can act. For me she is mesmerizing. Thanks for posting!
Excelente translocación, escenografía y canto. Desafortunadamente pésima actuación. Ciertamente los actores (en este caso cantantes de ópera) tienen mucho de responsabilidad, pero el director de escena debería crear movimientos escénicos naturales y razones o motivaciones para moverse de alguna u otra forma. ¿Quién conversa y termina incado en el piso como Villazón? Si se hace una modernización de la escena debería modernizarse las acciones de los actores. ¿Dónde están Callas y Zeffirelli?
maybe her voice is not SO powerful as other opera singers, but her interpretation is soo artistic, that make me feel the passion of this moment, that almost made me cry
@TCNJHarpist center balcony? You definitely had the best seat in the house! I couldn't really see the pit - only the top of the conductor's head lol. I would have loved to be able to see the full orchestra.
Although the blonde from our 1/29 show was very good, I definitely like Netrebko's performance better. She seems to have more passion - plus she's gorgeous! lol :o)
@TCNJHarpist Hi! Yes I was there for the same performance as you. How funny! Did you have good seats?
I found videos from other Traviata performances and those sets were definitely extremely ornate and "heavy".
You seem to be a seasoned opera attendee. What did you think of the Jan. 29th performance in comparison to other Traviata productions you've seen? Since it was my first opera, the singing all sounded beautiful to me but I'm wondering if you've heard better. :o)
@Tiffany21NYC I'm a musician so when I get opera tickets I like to sit up in the balcony so I can also look down into the pit :) so I was in the center so I loved where I sat. I like opera, but I've only seen one production of it "Live" which would be the one on the 29th, but I also have a DVD of one from Covent Gardens and also this one. I'm a pretty big Netrebko fan, so she's always my favorite production lol - but the one on the 29th was amazing, you really can't go wrong with the Met.
I just got home from seeing this same production in NYC at the Met. It was my very first opera so I wasn't sure what to expect. Of course the music was exceptional and the singing was stunningly beautiful, but the modern set was a bit disappointing. I thought things would be a bit more lavish. However, the passionate performance definitely made up for the sparse set.
@Tiffany21NYC I've seen both Traviata's, and I think I was at the same performance as you, the 29th? -- The newer production, I feel, works splendidly with this opera, because the old one was too set heavy. Usually the Met is ridiculous with their sets like Aida and Carmen - but of course the music makes up for anything
another Verdi ripoff of a Donizetti tune, this time from Pia de' Tolomei. Amami Alfredo is the same tune used in the Traviata preludes that Verdi "composed" for acts 1 and 3 and the exact same melody of Pia, mendace in Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei, act 1, composed by Donizetti in 1837, 16 years prior.
I just saw this same " modern" production, which is directed and choreographed by Willy Decker by the way, at the Met in NYC. Marina Poplavskaya was simply mesmerizing as Violetta, and owned every intake of breath in the theatre. This spartan production, so un-Zeffirelli-like, was actually quite beautiful to watch in action, relying far more on the talents of the artists than a lavish production may have needed to, I think. (IMHO...). Regardless, Netrebko is simply stunning to watch, and hear.
why do they stage it that way.. who is that girl in red dress, a curtisan? whore? mome of them , just girl in red dress, nothing more. is it Paris of the Bel epoc? of course not. such a bad staging one can see only in Germany. so why bringing it to the Met??
@boazsenator Yes, that woman in red dress is Violetta writting farewell letter to her lover Alfredo. If you are interesting in this story, then read book written by Alexander Dumas, Jr - Lady of the Camellias. It´s a beautiful story full of love, passion and pain.
The best Traviata??? Ma MMia38 perdoni, ha visto qualche altra Traviata? L'Amami Alfredo avrebbe pathos, mi sa che vi siete persi un po' di interpretazioni storiche, Callas a parte!!!
Yes, the voice quality of Callas is better, but the emotion that Anna creates makes it a truly unforgettable experience. After all, the voice is only a part of the performance and the whole is simply delicious beyong belief!!
Netrebko and Villazon are absolutely chilling in this scene. I find myself breaking down throughout Anna's emotional struggle every time I watch this. After listening to her sing this hundreds of times I still get goosebumps. Brava Anna! You are one of the best ever!
Invece io per godere metterei dei buttafuori nei teatri per far selezione all'ingresso, in modo che i ciarlatani della tua risma siano sbattuti fuori per sempre dai gironi alti delle gallerie.
Oh i so wish i saw this version - I love rolando and anna and la traviata is my all time favourite opera. Is this version available on dvd? Please say it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw it screeining on the classical music section at the Fnac Barcelona today (sorry, no advertisement intended, just droping out the information)l.
I couldn't find the actual cd, although i was out of time and didn't ask.
Hope you find it now you know they have actually published the dvd!
The directing is very modern and powerful and dramatic. Just modern! And modern people can relate to this... a lot more than the other versions.... There are glitches in the interpretation, but they try... they really make an effort to make it work...
In 1958 I was just a young man 17 years old, living in Toronto and had NEVER been exposed to classical music. A neighbour gave me a ticket to see Maria Callas in La Traviata at the O'Keefe Centre.
Not understaning a word of the arias was very frustraing for me, but the MUSIC ! - I was hooked for life. The aria Che fai?/Nulla - Amami, Alfredo just blew me away. and still does after all these years.
Anna Netrebko is brilliant & the chemistry with her and Villazon borders on electrifying

@papagena92 It's rather weird dualism of your perception of her craft.I believe that every geat soprano has srtong and and weak parts in singing and acting.Nevertheless IMO ms.Netrebko did an excellent job in her Traviata.
@MMia38 don't make me laugh, child, they're just ok... but the ambientation is different and nice, this Violetta acts too erotically and that's despicable in modern renditions of opera.
@ad80ad Un consiglio: se sai leggere la musica, armati di partitura originale, studiatela e noterai che non c' è alcun segno di espressione rispettato. Per non parlare delle voci: lei una bambina, di 12 anni. Lui tutto in gola, altro che la famosa 'maschera'... Sai di cosa parlo, vero?. Ciao.

Avremmo finalmente i teatri liberi da quei parassiti che hanno distrutto la grandezza del nostro patrimonio musicale, in primis proprio l'Opera.
Ogni parola è superflua. L' unica cosa che si salva.... la bellezza della Netrebko. Le voci sono a dir poco penose...... Possibile che questo è il futuro dell' opera??? Meglio stare chiusi in casa ad ascoltare i grandi del passato che, ahimè, non tornano più....
How dare anyone vandalize the work of Giuseppe Verdi with these bizarre interpretations! As if the master's genius can't stand as originally staged and needs improvement from the nobody who came up with this horrid crap.
Yes, well sung and acted, but what a stupid production! This is one opera where modern settings don't work (a 21st century luxury prostitute/call girl who dies of TB and whose lover's father asks her to end the affair so that his virginal daugher may marry?) and where traditional 19th century stagings and costumes add to the dramatic truth. I agree that Gheorghiu is the best Violetta today (if getting a bit older now) and that no one has yet (since 1958!!) come close to Callas here.
She might be not the ever best in technique, but she compensate with her acting the part and her voice is a bliss whatever the music geeks say.
She IS the best voice, but I hope she is still continuing with her lessons. She can be a star above all - with what is given to her. Bless you Anna, go on girl.
hammer55292 - FORMER STRIKER - HE IS A YOU TUBE PSYCHO. HE IS IN PRISON AND GETS PLEASURE FROM INSULTING ANNA NETREBKO. THAT MAKES HIM A CENTER OF ATTENTION TOO, - JUST SPAM HIM.
your opinion is a peace of shit. Bonfadelli ist second class and Dessay lost her voice 2001. You're only a YouTube-freak who never saw an opera live on stage.
Losers on you tube hate Netrebko because they cannot stand her success.
The thing is, even if you bash Anna to your own death you will never came close to her fabulous art. She has the most magnificent voice and all envy in the world cannot change this! She is the best soprano in decades. Her acting is recognized as outstanding by critics. So shut up! Who cares about your sick nitpicking of her performances? You all look retarded and ridiculous and Anna is doing better and better ..
Look for Gheorghiu, Carol Vaness, Anna Moffo, Julia Varady, Pilar Lorengar, Beverly Sills, Renata Scotto & Virginia Zeani. All make great Violettas. Try them out! Netrebko can't act & she's just trying to be the 21st century Joan Sutherland
ok.i love netrebko and i'm not one of those people that says she's the best no matter what. I just have to ask you Are you blind??? Dude! saying that she can't act is as much as saying that Gheorghiu can't sing.
Netrebko might not be the best soprano but she is great actress
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.
"Lets report him to Youtube. They'll hopefully do an IP test and ban his IP. It's the only permanent solution I can think of. " - PEOPLE - REPORT STRIKER! we are all feed up with him!

For sure this is the best Traviata of the last 50 years but I suppose this is probably the best Traviata in the entire history. Anna is the voice, the orchestra and the conductor all in one here, and she knows the score as the composer. Colossal.
Like Alagna's recent triumph in Carmen at Covent Garden and Mattila's Tosca at the Met, all of these will receive the same top fee: 15,000 Euros. This fee, 15,000 Euros per evening, net, is reserved for the great voices.
Grazie pasielu! Sono felice che altri la pensino come me! Little: penso che tutto sia scelto dal regista dell'opera. I cantanti per quanto bravi sono diretti anche su quanti respiri fare nell'opera in cui sono diretti. Lei è davvero piacevole e ingamba,ma non diamole tutta la colpa se poi ci sono delle screziature. Apprezzo comunque questo tentativo. Una volta ho visto la Valchiria di Wagner ,ancora più moderna di questa e sono rimasta perplessa!
Quanto allo sperimentare in chiave moderna e originale, tanto di cappello a chi ci prova e ci riesce (tanto più quando tocchi i mostri sacri come l'opera, la cui bellezza sta proprio nell'immortalità). Ma qui la scena non solo è brutta ma è irrilevante. Con o senza i divani sarebbe lo stesso, allora qual'è lo scopo? La prossima Aida la faranno coi mattoncini Lego?
Ha una bella mimica, e' una brava attrice, ma la sua presenza scenica è terribile. Si muove troppo, sembra la Traviata fatta dalla Cortellesi (che nel suo genere è bravissima) Si agita troppo senza scopo salvo poi piantarsi immobile al centro della scena su "amami alfredo". Quanto alla grande popolarità internazionale è vero c'è molto interesse attorno a lei ma molti la definiscono "overrated" sopravvalutata.
Io sarò all'antica ma odio la rivisistazione minimalista e moderna dell'aspetto della scena e dei costumi. Secondo me Violetta si deve vestire sempre da Violetta. E così tutti gli altri. Non si può fare la Traviata su due divani dell'IKEA e chiamarla ancora Opera. Tra l'altro non sono per niente fan della netrebko
d'accordissimo con te...poi la netrebko non è un gran che come cantante...a parte che non mi risulta che godi di tutta questa considerazione internazionale...
This borke my heart. I am actually in tears now.

How dare anyone vandalize the work of Giuseppe Verdi with these bizarre interpretations! As if the master's genius can't stand as originally staged and needs improvement from the nobody who came up with this horrid crap.

Yes, well sung and acted, but what a stupid production! This is one opera where modern settings don't work (a 21st century luxury prostitute/call girl who dies of TB and whose lover's father asks her to end the affair so that his virginal daugher may marry?) and where traditional 19th century stagings and costumes add to the dramatic truth. I agree that Gheorghiu is the best Violetta today (if getting a bit older now) and that no one has yet (since 1958!!) come close to Callas here.

@philipc67 I absolutely agree with you, very few operas can get away with modern settings, and this is definitely not one of those.

She might be not the ever best in technique, but she compensate with her acting the part and her voice is a bliss whatever the music geeks say.
She IS the best voice, but I hope she is still continuing with her lessons. She can be a star above all - with what is given to her. Bless you Anna, go on girl.

your opinion is a peace of shit. Bonfadelli ist second class and Dessay lost her voice 2001. You're only a YouTube-freak who never saw an opera live on stage.

Losers on you tube hate Netrebko because they cannot stand her success.
The thing is, even if you bash Anna to your own death you will never came close to her fabulous art. She has the most magnificent voice and all envy in the world cannot change this! She is the best soprano in decades. Her acting is recognized as outstanding by critics. So shut up! Who cares about your sick nitpicking of her performances? You all look retarded and ridiculous and Anna is doing better and better ..
09avenger 1 year ago
not everyone who critizise anna hates her,she is good,but there are some sopranos wich are at the same level!
anna's lucia di lammermoor isn't very well,the performance of a stefania bonfadelli or a natalie dessay is much better,in my opinion.
as mimi in la boheme,anna was great, this role fits better to her voice with this warm timbre!

Look for Gheorghiu, Carol Vaness, Anna Moffo, Julia Varady, Pilar Lorengar, Beverly Sills, Renata Scotto & Virginia Zeani. All make great Violettas. Try them out! Netrebko can't act & she's just trying to be the 21st century Joan Sutherland
MastersoftheOpera 1 year ago
ok.i love netrebko and i'm not one of those people that says she's the best no matter what. I just have to ask you Are you blind??? Dude! saying that she can't act is as much as saying that Gheorghiu can't sing.
Netrebko might not be the best soprano but she is great actress

Nebretko mades a great Violetta. But the best Violetta was Callas.

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.

For sure this is the best Traviata of the last 50 years but I suppose this is probably the best Traviata in the entire history. Anna is the voice, the orchestra and the conductor all in one here, and she knows the score as the composer. Colossal.

Like Alagna's recent triumph in Carmen at Covent Garden and Mattila's Tosca at the Met, all of these will receive the same top fee: 15,000 Euros. This fee, 15,000 Euros per evening, net, is reserved for the great voices.

Grazie pasielu! Sono felice che altri la pensino come me! Little: penso che tutto sia scelto dal regista dell'opera. I cantanti per quanto bravi sono diretti anche su quanti respiri fare nell'opera in cui sono diretti. Lei è davvero piacevole e ingamba,ma non diamole tutta la colpa se poi ci sono delle screziature. Apprezzo comunque questo tentativo. Una volta ho visto la Valchiria di Wagner ,ancora più moderna di questa e sono rimasta perplessa!

Quanto allo sperimentare in chiave moderna e originale, tanto di cappello a chi ci prova e ci riesce (tanto più quando tocchi i mostri sacri come l'opera, la cui bellezza sta proprio nell'immortalità). Ma qui la scena non solo è brutta ma è irrilevante. Con o senza i divani sarebbe lo stesso, allora qual'è lo scopo? La prossima Aida la faranno coi mattoncini Lego?
LittleGuySunshine 2 years ago
Ha una bella mimica, e' una brava attrice, ma la sua presenza scenica è terribile. Si muove troppo, sembra la Traviata fatta dalla Cortellesi (che nel suo genere è bravissima) Si agita troppo senza scopo salvo poi piantarsi immobile al centro della scena su "amami alfredo". Quanto alla grande popolarità internazionale è vero c'è molto interesse attorno a lei ma molti la definiscono "overrated" sopravvalutata.

Io sarò all'antica ma odio la rivisistazione minimalista e moderna dell'aspetto della scena e dei costumi. Secondo me Violetta si deve vestire sempre da Violetta. E così tutti gli altri. Non si può fare la Traviata su due divani dell'IKEA e chiamarla ancora Opera. Tra l'altro non sono per niente fan della netrebko
LittleGuySunshine 2 years ago
d'accordissimo con te...poi la netrebko non è un gran che come cantante...a parte che non mi risulta che godi di tutta questa considerazione internazionale...
