Gaetano Donizetti - La Fille du regiment / Dessay, Florez, Palmer, Corbelli, French, Campanella, Pelly (Royal Opera House 2007)


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Enhanced Donizetti
I was not a big fan of Donizetti's operas til now. I used to find them kind of shallow, music and plot-wise. However, this version of La fille du Regiment from Covent Garden proved me completely wrong. A great stage production can make a big difference in the way you perceive an opera, and this is a perfect example of that. The other JDF's DVD of this same opera (Genova) falls short compared with this delicious Covent Garden version. Dessay is the big star of the show, she is simply fantastic. Great actress and great singer. JDF is always good but he is completely overshadowed here by the energetic and amazing Dessay. However, the most important thing is that this La Fille du Regiment acquires a different dimension under the stage direction of Laurent Pelly. Bravo for Covent Garden that has put together, in the last few years, amazing productions of beloved traditional operas like this one and le Nozze di Figaro (with Erwin Schrott), with a modern twist that is not Eurotrash but neither those old fashioned and boring MET productions lacking of imagination.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dessay and Florez in La Fille du Regiment

Miss Dessay and Mr. Florez are magnificent in this production. The singing by both and the rest of the cast is excellent and the acting, especially Miss Dessay, is outstanding. This is a DVD I will enjoy for ever. Naty Fowler



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - La Fille Du Regiment
This is an outstanding video of a wonderful production of this enjoyable opera. The concept is delightful and the performances are magnificent.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delicious
Desssay and Florez are wonderful together -- one of the best pairings in recent memory.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cast of a lifetime
Natalie Dessay is the best operatic comedienne I have ever seen! Both she and Florez are the very best vocally and physically. They both sing this difficult music as if it were easy. VERY highly recommended.
