Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A great performance, lousy staging.If this recording were sound only on a CD, I wouldn't hesitate in giving it 5 stars or whatever is the maximum. This would be in spite of the fact that the libretto is hilariously fictional. It isn't even Biblical, which is another sort of fiction. I strongly recommend you get the CD set if available, and avoid this visual dog of an opera. The cast is nothing short of being in glorious voice. Ricardo Muti's hand at the podium is firm, yet flexible, bringing out the strong sense of drama in this piece. The wonder of the piece is Abigaila, a role which has ruined many a voice and which some great sopranos have refused to sing. Ghena Dimitrova has the measure of this part and sings it with great bravura. The other major parts, ... Read More: Rating:  - Well-sung performance of an early Verdi masterpiece in a so-so productionSOURCE: Live performance from La Scala in Milan, produced by National Video Corporation in association with Radiotelevisone Italiana, Milan. Nabucco was the first production of La Scala's 1986-87 season, so this performance can be assumed to have occurred in the autumn of 1986. SOUND: Generally adequate two-channel stereo. The microphones were apparently set to capture the solo vocalists and the orchestra. The chorus is attended with less care, leading to what strikes me as a seriously underpowered "Va, pensiero" in Act III. CAST: Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar), King of Babylon - Renato Bruson (baritone); Abigaile, the elder but adopted daughter of Nabucco (or maybe his daughter by a concubine slave) - Ghena Dimitrova (soprano); ... Read More: Rating:  - The Ultimate Stage NabuccoThis 1987 performance of a La Scala production of Verdi's Nabucco is stunning and powerfully rendered. A superior Nabucco you are hard-pressed to find. This production stars Renato Bruson as the titular Babylonian tyrant, Ghena Dimitrova as the wicked Abigaille, Becaria in the tenor role of Ismaele, Pierotti as Ferena and Burchuladze as the Zaccaria the Priest. La Scala opera productions are top-notch, and the singers, even if some of them are not well-known, are of the highest calibre. Of the entire cast, only baritone Renato Bruson and soprano Ghena Dimitrova stand out as well-known singers. Bruson's power lies in the combination of a dramatic and rich, full Verdi voice as well as his portrayal as Nebuchednezzar. His facial expressions are intense and ... Read More: Rating: - Verdi's "Nabucco"Excellent DVD recording with spectacular cast! Highly recommend it to all opera lovers. Rating: - An excellent performanceThis is an excellent traditional performance of a very good opera. Since it is an older recording, it is in 2 channel dolby rather than the newer surround formats, but that is not really a problem for me. Although the Metropolitan Opera DVD is also a great performance, I think this is a little better. |
