I'm becoming a real Dumaux fan. First saw and heard him sing the mad scence from "Orlando" in Williams Christie's 40 anniversary concert, then as Juliius Caesar..
At least now I know when those close shots were made! At first I found the filming and the editing very annoying, but then I got used to it, and now appreciate it. Still, I think, the video editors' work is far from spotless. There are too many spotlights, shoes, singers' backsides, missing half (or entire) faces, while important gestures and moments were left out. But you really can't tell on the basis of this dvd how sick they were all through. The magic of the performance is all there.
This scene is so magical... and so moving... For me, Tuva Semmingsen's role is played to absolute perfection! I wonder if the playful pat she places on Scholl's shoulder (7:35 - towards end of scene) is actually choreographed... or is this just further testament to who she is? Absolutely wonderful!
@palcika1 well - I believe it was because the aria "Si, Scherza Si" which is the aria which really comes there didn't convey the feelling of an ending that they wanted.
I secretly hoped to see and hear Trine's arias among the extras of the dvd - which would be completely nonexistent, btw, were it not for Andreas' splendid little documentary - but of course such things don' really happen... I admire Tuva, but Trine's more feminine tone and character was nice for a change. Though on the whole, she wasn't strong enough as Rosmira, especially compared to Tuva, who was absolutely on fire!

Божественная гармония двух голосов. Бесконечное наслаждение. Огромная благодарность. Bravi!!! 😍👏👏👏
I almost forgot to mention that the directing and acting were all so superb that you really have something to look at!
EVERYONE was fantastic in this. Everyone.
This is the BEST version ive seen so far. Amazing!!!
Yeah, it's like a movie, with those special shots you couldn't have seen even at the theatre.

I don't think they said why they decided to do that. But it's ok with me, this thing is just beautiful :)

Did they said why they include the duet in this performance? Originally that duet is from Sosarme, and was re-used in Imeneo :-/
Богу Слава! как ужасно так уродовать классику! Помилуй Бог!
The only ‘ugly’ thing here is your comment
Ну, помилуй. Вас 😁
