JFT, this is supposed to be a joyous, spontaneous and happy moment and instead it comes across like the Requiem. No one smiles, no one is happy, everyone is singing like the end an Anna Bolena. What a mistfire.
You're absolutely right. It's terribly complicated and they're scared of making a mistake and ruining it for everybody. In complete contrast see "Tutti gabbati Everyone is fooled". It's what is lacking here. Enjoy. And SMILE! (A detail that everyone seems to miss is that Falstaff says "We'll finish with a chorus and then Ford says Then we'll DINE with Sir Falstaff")
@Harvey : non è affatto gioioso ma una constatazione delle debolezze umane su cui la vita stessa pone un rimedio tragicomico...se tu fossi Falstaff saresti felice alla fine dello scherzo?
@@patrizialauraf Tutti gabbati is really the key statement here. All of us are swindled by life - it generally holds quite little of what we imagine that it promises.
What do you mean?! Nanetta is overjoyed because she’s finally married to Fenton, Alice has not only managed to trick and teach Falstaff a lesson but has also put her overbearing husband back in his place. Quickly and Page are feminists who help rally the cause and by the end are happy to be on the winning team. By the end the women are incredibly happy, which is a very rare occurrence in opera.
It is a 2001 tribute to Toscanini performances in Busseto (Verdi hometown) made in the 20s. Same scenography and costumes. It is of course old fashioned.
Un grand maître dirige ici. très belles voix aussi.
Maravillosas voces.!!!!
... oggi piu che mai !
Vim pelo livro “Agosto” 💕

Queria ver a música que o "Maestro" Emílio estava cantando.
Scusate, mi sapreste dire chi è la cantante alla destra di Florez?

Could anybody please tell me in which theater this took place? Thank you.
Teatro Verdi in Busseto
Many thanks!
Who directed this? Tim Burton?
He really makes the score glow. It's a cynical piece. They're not happy at the end.

What a stiff and dated production. Is this what all the critics of "modern" productions want to see?
It is true, in both those respects. But the singing, the quality of the orchestra, and overall musicality of the performance is superb.
This was made in 1992, I think. Not yesterday anyway.

YES. It is what we want to see. Definitely.
Boring
Boring as fck.
That's just noise. One of the worst Verdi's operas. He was tired obviously.
