Não existe melhor produção de Madame Butterfly do que a de 1974 na minha opinião claro. A saber:melhor cenário natural, cantores excepcionais e óptimos actores ao mesmo tempo. Um espectáculo perfeito jamais ultrapassado apesar dos anos. Tenho visto dezenas de representações, algumas boas, como a do cantor Richard Troxel, mas nenhuma como ela. Tenho o DVD não me canso de ouvir e choro sempre. Sou uma sentimentalona
The most beautyfull love duet I know. And the performance: great Mirella Freni and very good Placido Domingo. Only very good, beacuse I like better lighter tenors, singing Pinkerton's role, ie.Richard Troxell. But as an actor Domingo is great, he is one of the best perfomers between opera singers of XX century,
While I'm not a big fan of this opera itself, the music is beautiful, and this scene is so very moving. I see they had Domingo hold a hundred pounds on his chest while singing, again. (I hope this was lip-synched because he holds Freni a lot longer than he held Brooks or Stratas in La Traviata.) I've heard him say he was not fond of this character because of how he mistreats Cio-Cio San, and I can't disagree. Same thing with the Duke of Mantua. But a role is a role and he did try to infuse Pinkerton with some gentleness. Their voices were splendid together, weren't they? Bravi. Mil gracias por compartir.
Domingos kräftiger Gesangstil stört mich wenig, jedoch wundere ich mich eher, ob Domingo mit der Rolle Pinkertons keine Schwierigkeit hatte, während er bei der Rolle Duca Mantuas "alles hasst, was er macht" (Interview 1976 in New York). In diesem Film spielt er Pinterkons Yankees Charakter ziemlich gut, jedoch in manchen Szenen wie in dieser Duett zeigt er anstelle der Leichtsinnigkeit, dass das Libretto verlangt, die viel zu ehrliche Warmherzigkeit, die im Gesang mehr betont wird als im Spiel.
Freni is the best Butterfly, I think.
