Most helpful review La Traviata

  • 5 stars is not enough

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Strider (50 reviews) from Wokingham , 15 Aug 2008

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    When Sir Georg Solti heard the lovely Angela sing during rehearsals, he had to leave the room. Why? Well, her singing was so beautifully perfect that he couldn't control his tears and had to leave for a short time while he pulled himself together (source: http://www.angelagheorghiu.com/)

    Three Acts, each one full of the finest quality singing and acting from Angela and Frank and expertly accompanied by Leo. All this takes place amongst beautifully crafted sets (especially Act 3) and makes this production of La Traviata, in my opinion, the best that has ever been performed.

    If you rent this film, you will inevitably purchase it: hearing it once is not enough!

    I promise you will fall in Love with Angela Gheorghiu's voice and passion.

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from BRENTFORD , 30 Jun 2004
    The musc was great and the production wonderful. Thank goodness for the subtitles option which helped me to keep up with the story.

    To really enjoy a production like this, set some quality time aside on a quiet evening with no interruptions and you won't be disappointed.
