Wow. The fact that the puppets have masks! Fascinating! For some reason this has more humanity than many performances I've seen. I would absolutely love to see something like this in Chicago. So poignant, so touching.
You're right. An inescapable part of being human is presenting a mask to the world, and this staging works on that uncomfortable truth. It's a wonderful concept for an opera about illusion.
@@pabloraluy4832 The magical operas, a small group including Alcina and Orlando, are mainly based on the work of Ariosto or Tasso, and generally deal with some kind of transformation. This means that dramatic realism is less important, but rather it is important to create situations in which different emotions can come to the fore. These operas strongly captured the imagination of the audience, not least because of the ability of the baroque opera stage to be 'spectacular'. This certainly applies to Alcina, the story of a sorceress on an enchanted island. There seems to be an analogy here with the story of Odysseus and his men with the sorceress Circe, told in Homer's Odyssey.
Like Picasso, the mask maker is able to isolate the facial features that convey an emotion isolate them and then exaggerate them, to give the mask the power of one of his portraits(e,g. the crying woman). Brilliant and so powerful. Beautiful singing too. No vocal blemishes. Give me more of this!
Боже, какое мастерство - передать столько страданий и глубины на обычной куколке. Иногда думала, хорошо, что эти женщины оказались рядом во время ее переживаний, они выглядели сочувствующими ей..Бедная кукла, как она приняла свою судьбу неодушевленного предмета
This has a very unusual quality. When I cover up the humans and just watch the puppet, it looks like a puppet. When I see them all together, it looks like a person.
ALCINA Ah! Ruggiero crudel, you did not love me! Ah! that you pretended still, and I deceived you! And yet you still adore my heart. Ah! Ruggiero crudel! ah, traitor! Of pale Acheron inhabitant spirits, and of the night ministers of revenge, blind cruel daughters, come to me! Second my votes, because Ruggiero loved do not run away from me ungrateful. Look around, suspended. But oh! poor! and what unusual delay? eh! do not you hear me? I look for you, and do you listen? I command you, and do not you? Evoke deception? evvi fraud? Does my fatal rod have no power? Won, disappointed Alcina, and who advances you? Pale shadows, I know, you hear me; around wrong, and you hide, deaf from me: why? why? My good escapes; you stop him deh! for pity, if in this rod, that scorn, and I want to break up, force is not.
I searched for Mrs. Kirchner 2024 performances calendar. Unfortunately I did not find anything after 03/24. Please, please, please - publish the link here if you have any info.
You’ll notice that the singer also helps with puppeting the hands! These two artists must have worked together for many hours to get the synchronization of the phrasing just right. An incredible collaboration.
To move and maneuver a puppet while singing this style of opera is crazy
Wow. The fact that the puppets have masks! Fascinating!
For some reason this has more humanity than many performances I've seen.

I second this! Amazing idea and implementation

This is the highest form of Art. Simply brilliant.
AGREEE 100 %

This is absolute genius
@@amorroma1244did Händel actually considered using a puppet for this in early 1700s??
6:51 Got goosebumps from this part!! The talent the singer has is so insane!
That was beautiful!
When you were taking off her masks I started to cry.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! Incredible work!

彼女は本当にマスクをかぶってるんだな。最後人形が歌を歌ってる人を認識してたのがメタ要素みたいですごく面白かった。もう1人の自分がマスクを被せているっていう演出なのかな？土台に完璧な歌と完璧な人形表情と完璧な人形操作がないと一気に嘘っぽくなるからかなり難しい技術だと思うけど、これは完璧だった。
Sehr bewegend, was ihr hier geschaffen habt. Danke dir!
Damn. Wig.
Estoy anonadado! a sido espectacular desde la ejecución con la marioneta hasta la secuencia musical. I LOVE IT. viva el arte
coincido
Chant superbe. Visuel hideux.
Wow! Amazing! The interplay at mid aria between the soprano and the puppet!
Stunningly spooky.
WOW! I had never seen something like this before! outstanding performance. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Who sings and who just opens a mouth? 🤔🤔🤔

💯 💐

Para ir a las cavernas del terror están los parques de diversiones....
Resta là voce ma la maschera di più!
Händel dreht sich im Grab um.

Ridiculous
