Collectible : Johann Strauss - Die Fledermaus / Domingo, Te Kanawa, Prey, Royal Opera Covent Garden
Johann Strauss - Die Fledermaus / Domingo, Te Kanawa, Prey, Royal Opera Covent Gardenstarring: Kiri Te Kanawa, Hermann Prey, Dennis O'Neill, Hildegard Heichele, Paul Crook directed by: Humphrey Burton Release Date October 14, 2003 Although the performance dates from the 1980s the DVD is visually and technically quite satisfactory. The DVD I ordered suffered from two or three brief interruptions. It was a gift to a relative and I wasn't able to determine whether the problem was with the disc or the player. The performances were all first-rate. Domingo took the orchestra at a very fast clip in the more "technical" portions of the Overture, but it was musically still quite appropriate. I particularly enjoyed the occasions where the spoken dialog switched over briefly to English. The ad libed "entertainment" at Prince Orlovsky's party was very good, but I've seen better. It was a bit inclined for a British audience. |
