(review in english below)
La Traviata,
ópera de G. Verdi e uma das minhas
favoritas, foi já muitas vezes comentada neste blogue.
Com o início do primeiro acto Violeta veste um vestido
vermelho e entram em palco diversos adereços para a festa, com os convidados
vestidos a rigor.
Já no 2º acto, Alfredo trás um ramo de flores que espalha
pelo chão. Na récita de hoje, pisou-as várias vezes no decorrer da acção porque
esteve sobretudo preocupado com o canto e não com a representação. As cenas
seguintes, até ao final, foram muito convencionais, sem nada de particular a
destacar, mas foi uma encenação conseguida, apesar de não trazer nada de novo.
O jovem maestro Ivan
Repusic ofereceu-nos uma sonoridade bem equilibrada e agradável, o que
muito contribuiu para a qualidade do espectáculo.
Alfredo foi o jovem tenor russo Khachatur Badalyan. O cantor tem uma boa figura e mostrou grande
agilidade em palco. A interpretação vocal foi decente, embora sem a emotividade
requerida. Também cenicamente poderia ter sido melhor dado que esteve sobretudo
preocupado com o canto.

LA
TRAVIATA, Deutsche Oper , Berlin , April 2013
La Traviata, opera by G. Verdi and one of my favorites, has been often commented on this blog.
The staging of Götz Friedrich is interesting, enjoyable, but it has some peculiar aspects. At the opening, Violet, dressed in white, is lying on her deathbed. Beside the bed only a small table. All the surrounding scenery is surrounded by black doors surmounted by windows with wooden shutters, also black. The bed and the table will always be present until the end of the opera when, with a few doors knocked down, the opening scene repeats.
With the starting of first act Violet wears a red dress and come in various stage props for the party, with guests dressed up.
In the beginning of 2nd act, Alfredo brings a bouquet of flowers that spreads on the floor. In today´s performance, he stepped them several times in the course of action because he was particularly concerned about the singing and not the acting. The following scenes, by the end, were very conventional, with nothing particular to highlight, but it was an achieved successful act, despite not bringing anything new.
Young conductor Ivan Repusic offered a well-balanced and pleasant sound, which greatly contributed to the quality of the performance.
Russian soprano Diana Alieva was a strong voice Violet. She was hard at first, but improved throughout the performance and did very well in the last act. She did not neglect the artistic part, which helped.
Alfredo was the young Russian tenor Khachatur Badalyan. The singer has a good figure and showed great agility. The voice was decent, although without the required emotion. He could have been better on stage given that he was mainly concerned with the singing.
German baritone Markus Brück was a great Giorgio Germont. His figure was imposing, punishing and haughty at first, but he conveyed regret and compassion in the last act. His voice quality was top and he expressed very clearly the different emotional states of the character.
Annie Rosen made a perfect Annina and the other singers were at the level of the soloists.
A very balanced performance, of significant quality, but without the touch of magic we always expected.
