Molto bella questa GIOCONDA, dal Teatro Massimo di CATANIA, con ottimi cantanti, Mazzaria, Giordani, Gertseva, Mastromarino, Tirendi. Molto teatrali anche i costumi!! Ottima registrazione!!
A Grand Opera in the True Sense Ponchielli's music is very likeable and Dramatic, my Grandfather sang this in the Chorus as a Leading Tenor at Covent Garden with many Famous Tenors from 1909 till 1940, amongst them Caruso Martinelli Taccani Zenatello Ansseau Gigli Pertile Merli and Masini, with casts that were amongst the Greatest. A opera he loved to appear in. This performance I liked very much, little bit disappointed in the Laura but she was quite fine and looked Good , Gioconda was very good I felt as to Enzo, Barnaba looked the part and the rest were good and the Orchestra top notch, Not forgetting the Chorus and Dancers, which makes this one of the finest Gioconda's I have seen. Excellent.
A terrific opera. What's remarkable is how unlike Verdi it sounds: Ponchielli had a strong musical personalty, also found in his chamber and piano works. it is a tragedy that he died so young (51)
la danza delle ore ha fatto il giro del mondo, la gioconda è innegabile capolavoro, ma ponchielli è nome ancora poco noto. unico compositore a essere pure maestro precoce di conservatorio ove fu ammesso prima dell'età consentita. sembrerebbe pure UNICO nn massone e nn afferente alle corti dei nobili, il che gli costò grave ostruzionismo
Act 1 The Lion's Mouth The courtyard of the Doge's Palace During Carnival celebrations before Lent, while everyone else is preoccupied with a regatta, Barnaba, a state spy, lustfully watches La Gioconda as she leads her blind mother, La Cieca, across the Square. When his amorous advances are firmly rejected, he exacts his revenge by denouncing the old lady as a witch whose evil powers influenced the outcome of the gondola race. It is only the intervention of a young sea captain that keeps the angry mob at bay. Calm is restored at the approach of Alvise Badoero, a member of the Venetian Inquisition, and his wife, Laura. Laura places La Cieca under her personal protection, and in gratitude the old woman presents her with her most treasured possession, a rosary. The sharp-eyed Barnaba notices furtive behaviour between Laura and the sea captain indicating a secret relationship. Recalling that Laura was engaged to the now banished nobleman Enzo Grimaldo before her forced marriage to Alvise, Barnaba realises that the sea captain is Enzo in disguise. Barnaba confronts Enzo, who admits his purpose in returning to Venice is to take Laura and begin a new life elsewhere. Barnaba knows that Gioconda is also infatuated with Enzo and he sees an opportunity to improve his chances with her by assisting Enzo with his plan of elopement. When Enzo has gone, Barnaba dictates a letter to Alvise revealing his wife's infidelity and the lovers' plan of escape. He is unaware that he has been overheard by Gioconda. The act ends with Barnaba dropping the letter into the Lion's Mouth, where all secret information for the Inquisition is posted, while Gioconda laments Enzo's perceived treachery, and the crowd returns to its festivities. Act 2 The Rosary The deck of Enzo's ship Enzo waits for Barnaba to row Laura out from the city to his vessel. Their joyful reunion is overshadowed by Laura's fears as she does not trust Barnaba. Gradually Enzo is able to reassure her, and he leaves her on deck while he goes to prepare for their departure. La Gioconda has been following Laura with the intention of exacting revenge from her rival. Alvise and his armed men are also in hot pursuit, but as Gioconda is about to stab Laura she sees her mother's rosary hanging round her neck and has an instant change of heart. She hurries Laura into her boat so that she can evade her pursuers. Enzo returns to the deck to find that Laura has fled leaving Gioconda triumphant. Furthermore, Alvise's men are rapidly approaching. He sets fire to the ship rather than let it fall into the hands of his enemies before diving into the lagoon. Act 3 The Ca' d'Oro (House of Gold) Alvise's palace Laura has been captured, and her vengeful husband insists she must die by poisoning herself (effectively committing suicide and condemning herself to Hell). Once again Gioconda has followed and has found her way into the palace, this time with the intention of saving her rival. Finding Laura alone Gioconda replaces the phial of poison with a powerful drug which creates the appearance of death. The second scene begins with Alvise welcoming his fellow members of the nobility to the palace; Barnaba and Enzo are amongst those present. Lavish entertainment is provided and the act ends with the famous ballet Dance of the Hours. The mood of revelry is shattered as a funeral bell begins to toll and the body of Laura is revealed awaiting burial. A distraught Enzo flings off his disguise and is promptly seized by Alvise's men. Act 4 The Orfano Canal A crumbling ruin on the island of Giudecca In exchange for Enzo's release from prison, La Gioconda has agreed to give herself to Barnaba. When Enzo is brought in, he is initially furious when Gioconda reveals that she has had Laura's body brought from its tomb. He is about to stab her when Laura's voice is heard and Gioconda's part in reuniting the lovers becomes clear. Enzo and Laura make their escape, leaving La Gioconda to face the horrors awaiting her with Barnaba. The gondoliers' voices are heard in the distance telling that there are corpses floating in the city. When Gioconda tries to leave, she is caught by Barnaba. She then pretends to welcome his arrival, but under cover of decking herself in her jewellery, seizes a dagger and stabs herself to death. In frustrated rage Barnaba tries to perpetrate one last act of evil, screaming at the lifeless body "Last night your mother offended me. I drowned her!"
Very nice production, thanks a lot. But it´s incomplete. The whole first scene of act III, including Alvise´s aria is missing.....Any chances of reposting it complete??? Thanks . J
per essere una produzione di un piccolo teatro di provincia è più che decorosa, con buoni interpreti anche se fisicamente poco credibili, in questa era in cui domina l'immagine.
Mister mi scusi ma il Teatro Bellini non e' un " piccolo teatro di provincia" e' invece uno dei teatri con migliore acustica al mondo...fra tante altre cose.
ma che c'entra questo episodio con il prestigio di questo teatro....di provincia sara lei. il Bellini è un Teatro di tutto rispetti e nulla scalfisce il suo prestigio...studiate che è meglio
Anch'io penso che il Bellini non è un teatro di provincia, inoltre nella lirica quello che conta sono le voci e non l'immagine. Comunque un bellissimo spettacolo. L'unica cosa un po' deludente la coreografia della danza delle ore (a mio parere)
This is opera! No trash, just the story with great voices .
A beautiful staging , as they should be. The cast was also wonderful.👏
Molto bella questa GIOCONDA, dal Teatro Massimo di CATANIA, con ottimi cantanti, Mazzaria, Giordani, Gertseva, Mastromarino, Tirendi. Molto teatrali anche i costumi!! Ottima registrazione!!
Wonderful
Latin world lives forever
E' la prima volta che vedo e sento La Gioconda e non credevo fosse tanto bella e gradevole... tutti veramente bravissimi !!!
La regia è particolarmente briosa e allegra
@@roby112008 in particolare fedelissima al libretto, cosa rara oggi. Una gioia degli occhi!
Bravi, a cominciare dal regista
Hai perfettamente ragione.Gioconda è un capolavoro totale!!!
ね？ポンキエルリ、もっともっとクローズアップされて欲しいですね？

0:24-1:01 Ponchielli must have adored the _William Tell_ Overture.

Gioconda has no chest voice, which is crucial in this role.

Mastromarino miglior Barnaba del mondo
The balley a nightmare! Horrible!

Mister mi scusi ma il Teatro Bellini non e' un " piccolo teatro di provincia" e' invece uno dei teatri con migliore acustica al mondo...fra tante altre cose.
Forse lo sarà oggi ma ai tempi d'oro del "Bellini" Kraus sostituiva Pavarotti indisposto!
ma che c'entra questo episodio con il prestigio di questo teatro....di provincia sara lei. il Bellini è un Teatro di tutto rispetti e nulla scalfisce il suo prestigio...studiate che è meglio
poco credibile sarà lei, m i callasdipenfenti ragionsno così...è un classico
Anch'io penso che il Bellini non è un teatro di provincia, inoltre nella lirica quello che conta sono le voci e non l'immagine. Comunque un bellissimo spettacolo. L'unica cosa un po' deludente la coreografia della danza delle ore (a mio parere)
