Summary: Awesome!!!
Comment: It is a bit hard to watch La Traviata without its fancy costumes and wonderful settings. However, once you have overcome that, you will enjoy this masterpiece wonderfully sung by Russian beauty Anna Netrebko and wonderfule Mexican tenor Rolando Villazon. They are definetely the golden couple in the opera world nowadays. Bravo and bravo once again!!!

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Excellent DVD. Singers are wonderful: quality singing, marvelous acting, highly believable in their roles, great chemistry. At first I thought I would not like this spare, modernistic production; instead if anything it allows the spectator to become more fully immersed with the characters and in the wonderful interpretations by Netrebko, Villazon, and Hampson.
Sound and vision are also excellent

Summary: A great take on a classic opera
Comment: I loved the version I saw of at the Met in New York but I thought that, despite their individual performances, there was something missing between the leads. The sets were extravagant complete with the entire third act set rising through the floor. The costumes were likewise extravagant and faithful to their time period.

Despite all the things the Met version had, seeing this stripped down version, I can see what it was missing: chemistry between the two leads which is not a problem with this Villazon/Netrebko production. Here I believed the leads were actually in love with each other rather than just in love with hearing their own voices. Here the focus was on the two lovers, the father's interjection of duty, and the menacing clock ticking away.

Awesome.

Summary: Glorious Traviata
Comment: Netrebko and Villazon are perfect lovers and both can act and sing gloriously. I admit I am a smitten fan of Netrebko and consider myself lucky to own this very interesting and beautiful performance. The ovations from the audience who have heard everything and everyone are ear shattering. Viva Netrebko and Villazon. Be advised the staging is original and unfamiliar. But it works and allows for some very erotic singing by the leads.
