    @creaturepa 7 років тому +45

    Beautifully sung, but the conceit robs the finale of much of its thematic beauty. The idea that Aida cuts her wrists here is ridiculous and self-serving. In the original conception, she joins Radames as he is sealed in a tomb and they await their fate together (either suffocation or starvation, but presumably over a long period of time yet together and in sync). Their spirits join together as they are transformed by death. This choice here makes the moment all about her, and rather than join her fate to his she dies first and quickly, leaving him to comfort her and presumably live quite a long time after her bereft and alone. Where's the beauty in that?

      A mí ese color me resulta desconcertante, tiene una oscuridad en el grave y el centro más propia de un barítono y un agudo que no es el que uno esperaría de un tenor lírico, sino de un barítono empujando la voz hasta lo más alto del rango para sacar notas por encima del La4 y llegar hasta un Si natural agudo y un do sobreagudo, notas típicamente tenoriles. Me gustaría escucharlo en directo alguna vez para ver cómo se siente esa voz en un auditorio.

    No cambien las cosas ni los argumentos. Aida se esconde en la tumba para acompañar a morir a Radames. Y el duo se desarrolla en dos enamorados que se abandonan en el amor para esperar la muerte y no en el suicidio. En vez de cambiar lo que imaginó el autor, por qué no hacen un espectáculo mas integral, con escenografía y vestuario como corresponde. Los caprichos de los reggiseurs ya cansan. La opera es un espectaculo integral, una de las mayores expresiones del arte y de la belleza. Mas allá de la belleza de la voz de los cantantes y la orquesta, es una estafa a quienes pagaron por ver un espectaculo integral y no un Radames vestido de marciano, una Aida en camisón y varias mujeres con un baton negro.

    Beautiful singing and acting. The staging not so much.

    Great performance by the singers, but the landscape, the sport trousers, the snickers and the blood stains hugely diminish the reputation of the stage director. That solution is a shame.

    Sung beautifully and dramtically-- but why, why, why does some idiot stage director not trust Verdi and the librettist. Verdi was a brilliant composer and dramatist. So some director changes the story-- adds another "cause of death." Ridiculous-- the whole point is that they are entombed alive and we hear the crowd and Amnesia from outside as they meet their fate and run out of air. Don't you think that if they had wanted a death by wrist-slitting Verdi would have written music for it? I am not opposed to creativity with time and place etc as we see in some productions of this and that-- but you can't change the story line. But Bravi to Drassimira & Kaufmann!!

      @@JamesKoenig - Amneris was not a villain in the way that Melanomia is. The latter totally embraces her villainous husband's worst, most inhumane policies. And Amneris prayed for peace for both Aida, her rival, and Radames, he her betrayor.

    Ugh, These stage directors and costume people can really get on my last nerve. I have never seen two people look so unlike Aida and Radames, not to mention this cutting of the wrists an stupid blood everywhere. This is one of the reasons I always check the staging an costumes before I buy a ticket for the opera.

      I only watch operas that were produced before 2000. Franco Zeffirelli, Otto Schenk and several more were true artists, creating the most wonderful, rich, wholesome stages and costumes and now we have these barbarians who are intentionally ruining the beauty and the music of operas with their politics. Shame.

      If today’s singers “super stars” were true artists they would refuse to take part in operas with contemporary, ugly, empty staging and costumes.
