Rating:  - Comparisons are always unfair..............
....but at times they can't be avoided. Every new star evokes memories of the past...Anna Netrebko has frequently been compared to Maria Callas, and I will go ahead and provoke the anger of some by stating up front that Anna is better than Callas was the best day she ever saw. Now, I admit that, early in her career, she saw some good days; she had Style, and a fabulous voice. But, defective technique, and bad casting decisions, washed her up well before the age Anna is now. OK. Now I shall approach ... Read More
Rating:  - Great singing and acting almost compensates for minimalist production.
Unlike other reviewers, I was put off by the minimalist, sadistic, Euro-trash production. That said, the singing and acting on the part of all three principals is fantastic! So, buy for the music, the acting, and the stars, but be prepared for minimalist sets and unmotivated directorial bits along the way.
Rating: - If You are not into Opera, this is where you start
Enjoy the music, enjoy the performance, no 19th century opera clishes here, just an amazing performance of Verdi's La Traviata.
Violeta as it was meant to be, this was the first time i saw Anna Netrebko I'm a big fan now, Rolando Villazon i'ts also an amazing tenor, and the chemistry between both lead performers it's incredible.
I also love the minimalistic stage with the giant clock a la Metropolis who resembles the time left to Violeta, gives it a contemporary look and contrast ... Read More
Rating:  - Singers are Good but the rest is disappointing...
(by a Japanese girl, 15 y.o.)
This DVD was my first opera DVD and the reason I chose this was I became a fan of Anna whom I found on YouTube lately and this DVD has such good reputations here and there.
As a beginner, I expected a Gorgeous stage set and beautiful costume.
But the stage set is very simple and poor. I was disappointed.
The costume, Anna is wearing simple red dress or white slip and the men are wearing business suits! I was severely disappointed.
I admit ... Read More
Rating:  - Highly recommended for its inventive staging and two young superstars
If you prefer to see "Traviata" with traditional stage design and costuming, then this is not the production for you. I tend to fall into that category, but unlike the 2004 production from La Fenice which also is contemporary in setting, this 2005 Salzburg production works for me because of the terrific chemistry between the two stars and the way the director allows their relationship to blossom. If you like seeing two lovers light up the screen, this production is not to be missed.
