Che opera! Musica viva, dai molteplici colori!! Cavalli è degno allievo di Monteverdi. Cantanti bravissimi e bella messa in scena. Trovo Valer Sabadus del 2013, quando ancora faceva teatro: è incisivo, espressivo, spiritoso, sfodera la sua voce strepitosa che fa emozionare anche i sassi (anche 11anni dopo)! 🔥😍🎶🎵🧚♀️🌟🌟🌟
Merci Altea Media. C'est un très beau spectacle. La musique, les chanteurs, la mise en scènes sont époustouflants ! Dommage que des problèmes de synchronisation des sous-titres (français) rendent le plaisir du suivi..... laborieux !
The plot is convoluted and long, but grab what you can of the central plotline and listen to the music and the singing and you will discover that Cavalli is unfailingly melodic, inventive and simply beautiful in his musical settings. The 13 young singers are all outstanding. In the two biggest roles, Hungarian Emöke Baráth who sings the roles of Helen and Venus is a pretty blonde with a beautiful voice. Cavalli gives her some lovely melodies and her ringing and luminous voice delivers them to perfection. Rumanian countertenor Valer Barna-Sabadus is tall and rangy and is artlessly wonderful as the cross-dressing Menelaus, with all the bloom and agility of a top-drawer countertenor. His singing is simply gorgeous. Both he and Barath are at home on the knife edge between sentiment and comedy, in turn meltingly beautiful and cuttingly funny. Swiss-Chilean tenor Emiliano Gonzalez Toro also shows impressive range as the buffoon Iro, while Christopher Lowrey is impressive in the smaller countertenor roles. Portuguese tenor Fernando Guimarães as Theseus with his deeper voice provided a nice contrast to the countertenor pursuers of Helen. Theseus is betrothed to the Amazon Hippolyta. The latter is sung by mezzo-soprano Solenn'Lavanant Linke, a woman of some stature well suited to the role. Argentinian conductor Leonardo García Alarcón and his Cappella Mediterranea offer us every opportunity to love Cavalli's fluid, inventive, witty, moving, clever music, with an organic musicality that gives every word expression, keeps every dance beat airborne and makes every lament affecting. Director Jean-Yves Ruf had some tough choices to make with a problematic opera. The opera has a problematic plot, but the performance is well worth its revival.
