Stunning perfomance! Thanks a lot for sharing this rare gem! 😍🤩

It's a truly beautiful opera. Awesome setting, talented actors. Thanks for uploading!

Comment est-il agréable quand les auteurs sont respectés! Merci beaucoup de partager ce bon travail avec ceux qui aiment l'opéra et pas les régisseurs bizarres!

I love this staging and costumes. Listening in preparation for Odyssey Opera's concert performance in Boston this Sunday, along with Aleko.

Прекрасная постановка оперы! Спасибо большое!

Omg this prelude is like half the duration of the opera...

The setting is the Malatesta castle around the end of the 13th century Prologue The ghost of Virgil leads the poet Dante to the edge of the first circle of the Inferno. They descend into the second, where the wordless chorus of the damned souls is heard. Virgil tells Dante that this is the realms where sinners given over to lust are punished, buffeted by an eternal whirlwind. Dante asks two such souls, Francesca and Paolo, to tell their story. Tableau 1 In the castle courtyard, Lanceotto Malatesta is about to go off to war, but he admits that he no longer takes pleasure in war. Lanceotto is deformed, and knows that his wife, Francesca, does not love him. She had been tricked into marrying Lanceotto by being led to think that she would marry Paolo Malatesta, Lanceotto's handsome younger brother. Lanceotto is suspicious of Francesca and envious of Paolo. He plans to set a trap to catch them in adultery. Francesca then enters, affirming obedience to Lanceotto, but saying that she cannot love him. She asks when he will return, and Lanceotto says that he will not return until after the end of battle. When Francesca leaves, Lanceotto laughs. Tableau 2 Paolo and Francesca are together, alone, in a room in the castle. Paolo tells the story of Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere, which parallels their own feelings. While doing so, Paolo declares his love for Francesca. Francesca resists initially, trying to remain faithful to Lanciotto. However, her own resistance erodes at Paolo's continued expressions of love, and her own desire for him. They sing of their secret love, and embrace. Lanciotto has returned, and sees the lovers together. He fatally stabs Paolo and Francesca. Epilogue Paolo and Francesca recede into the whirlwind of the second circle. Dante is overcome with pity and terror, and he and Virgil remain with the thought: ‘There is no greater sadness in the world than to remember a time of joy in a time of grief

Люблю Вашу Франческу . Хороший спектакль и певцы и все .

Una obra admirable; Dante acompañado por Virgilio en el infierno de la Divina Comedia, encuentra a los amantes Francesca y Paolo y aunque están eternamente condenados, su felicidad es estar juntos. La puesta en escena es muy, muy buena.No es una obra fácil de representar.Y la música , un maravilloso Rachmaninov. Gracias por subirla.

Thank you for this video, I wish there was timestamps in comments though…

MAGNIFICA OPERA

Скелет на скелете - так трогательно!😢

Amazing1

musica sublime!!!

Wow.... I never knew Rachanninoff wrote an opera.

Great! But what's with the 2CV at the end?

ეს ხომ ოპერა არ არის...არ მეგონა "ალეკოზე" უარესი რამე თუ არსებობდა,ეხლა ვნახე😂.ბუუუუუუ!

The beauty and ardor of this music transcends all.....but would anybody care to conjecture as to why some kind of European mini car made an appearance at the end? Corporate sponsorship?

Кроме плюшевого михайло и авто в конце, всё здорово.

OK, that's an interesting take and I enjoyed it until that car appeared at the end for no reason that I could figure out....

80 Minutes? This opera usually take 65 minutes. Someone wake the conductor up.

Where can I see this with English subtitles?

29:58

Se supone que esta ópera la iba a hacer Tchaikovski pero luego se decidió a hacer una fantasía, de eso quedó el libreto bastante aburrido del hermano de Piotr al que Rachmaninov puso una música bastante interesante. Buena escenografía

Who is Nancy?

French subtitles?? Really???

Sing Russian music Russian American composer

Lord, spare us from these trashy Euro productions. The two leads were costumed beautifully and the rest was pure crap.
