 Rating:  - Musically amazing, visually puzzlingFirst of all, the orchestra is superb, and the singers are all in good voice and exquisitely musical. And this is that rare complete version, which not only contains Basilio's aria, but also Marcellina's as well, which I heard for the first time in this production. And the singers are also skilled actors, one and all--almost enough to make up for those certain aspects of the casting which don't make sense: when Marcellina and Susanna have their duet, in which Susanna twits Marcellina ... Read More Rating: - The humming conductor???I've finally caved and have bought this DVD in addition to the other 5 Figaro DVDs I own, after having practically worn out my Jacobs Figaro CD. The singers and orchestra are top notch (I'm particularly impressed with the Countess - she's magnificent!). I just have one small quibble....: Am I the only one hearing someone humming along here and there? I don't know who the culprit is, but I'm guessing that it's Jacobs himself. I may be going crazy, but I swear I hear someone humming along. Read More Rating:  - Brava!!!I agree with previous reviews, this IS a great production. But I actually DID enjoy the sets, costumes, as well as the really great acting and singing. Luca Pisaroni is reason enough to purchase this one---a great Figaro, you will enjoy every moment he is on the stage. I thought Kirschlager was wonderful as Cherubino, and she deserved great applause for her "Voi che Sapete", in my opinion. Pietro Spagnoli was awesome too. And I really enjoyed this Susanna Read More Rating: - See it for the Count and Countess!I bought this DVD to see Luca Pisaroni (who was so wonderful as Guglielmo in Cosi Fan Tutte) as Figaro and he was very good. But he was upstaged by Pietro Spagnoli as the Count! What a great job Spagnoli did. I've seen him in two Rossini productions and was not really impressed by him before this. Annette Dasch as the Countess was another pleasant surprise. Her singing was wonderful, but the real jolt for me was that I could believe she was actually Rosina from The Barber of Seville! I've seen ... Read More Rating:  - Not THAT great....OK, let me begin by saying the music here is fantastic and everyone sounds great. But for me opera is not just music. It's theatre. In fact, it's theatre first. This production has a bunch of flaws in staging and look. The set, IMHO is ugly and doesn't work. When are you inside, when outside? When in servant quarters, when in the masters' rooms? They're all the "same" really on this stage. The costumes are just plain weird for some characters, especially the Contessa who apparently runs around the palace ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
