Excellent Version of Xerxes
|
| I have to agree with the other reviews, this was an interesting, well-crafted version of a fine Handel opera. One negative in this production is the feel of the set and costumes--very dark and cold. Perhaps this is a deliberate contrast to the warmth and passion of the music? For me it didn't work. However, the singing and acting overcame the stale, morbidity of the set. Another small negative is that Romilda, played by Isabel Bayrakdarian was, at times, a bit shaky in her voice and not completely convincing with her character. This is a small complaint considering Bayrakdarian did well enough and the rest of the cast is extraordinary, as other reviewers have noted. I found the overall production impressive. Would highly recommend it. |
