Here you can find another ALCINA - and Bradamante or Ruggiero - in this wonderful VIVALDI's masterpiece, ORLANDO FURIOSO. Here a french production at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, starring Jennifer Larmore as Alcina. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P35ksJKDFsU.html
There's a beautiful innocence in this trio, wishing the good of someone you love as they leave. In some productions Don Alfonso expresses some cynical looks as he sings along. Still, it is very sweet transcendent moment. ❤
I just recently came across this video and have watched it about 2 or so dozen times. Danielle is not only a joy to listen to, but also to watch!!! Not sure if the dance moves were current for Handel's day, but they sure work here!
все вйфоны хотят прикупить и авто покруче, а мне - " Волшебную флейту" послушать - посмотреть бы вживую в высококлассном исполнении ,ахаха.. .. а вы мне про зависть заливаете..... мы на разных уровнях. Я вам точно не завидую.
This opera was the best one that I have ever seen, the setting and background made this opera so unique, magnificent and special in the actual theater. I give my best compliments to those who have contributed to make such an outstanding work. So creative work and great effort ! Bravo ! 🎉
The text by Gottfried von Strassburg that Wagner used, is not a unified novel in the sense we understand it, but a collection of tales that revolve around the young lovers. What Wagner did -as with the Ring- was take what he wanted to craft something that is actually closer to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Specifically the constant references to night and day, to sunshine and darkness, to black and white, the reversal of normality, because the lovers can only be true when they are in the dark, unseen, at night. Thus, when Tristan hears Isolde coming at the end, he cries 'What, do I hear the light?' -the syntax is wrong but the meaning is clear. The great pity is that productions these days are not faithful to Wagner's intentions -a ship in the first act, a garden in the second, the castle exposed to the sun in the third -all have a purpose, but I guess we have to live with Regie-Theater and just hope the music does its job.
