Mariusz Kwecien (Malatesta)
The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra & Chorus / James Levine, conductor

Stage Directsed by Otto Schenk

bonus - backstage intermission interviews caught during the hubbub of performance.

A red hot ticket at the Metropolitan Opera in 2010/2011 was Donizetti’s comic gem, Don Pasquale, with Anna Netrebko reviving Norina, the part that made her a star in New York. Opera summed up the simple truth: ". . . everyone adored her".

John Del Carlo’s impressive singing and acting chops as the Don are given every boost by Otto Schenk’s hilarious staging and James Levine’s witty conducting. Leading this opera for the first time at the Met, the renowned maestro demonstrates that his gifts suit Donizetti as perfectly as Wagner. Mariusz Kwiecie? and Matthew Polenzani scintillate as Malatesta and Ernesto

When Norina slaps Pasquale, the old man sees how deluded he has been to believe that the young beauty loves him. The San Francisco Chronicle paid homage to this turning point thus: “Netrebko captures the moment that gives the opera a heart it otherwise would lack”.

メトロポリタン歌劇場でのレヴァインの演奏...

投稿日:2012/10/06 (土)

メトロポリタン歌劇場でのレヴァインの演奏なので、標準レベル以上で欠点は少ない。ポイントとしては、メトロオーケストラとレヴァインの指揮は構造とメリハリが基本なので、イタリアオペラの旋律美については好み次第に感じる。ノリーナが中心の劇作りとなっているが、役柄としてもう少しドライな色気をイメージしていると、ネトレプコにやや違和感を感じるかと思う。
