Last Wednesday was the penultimate predstvavlenii Mozart's operas in the Canadian e . Definitely not posing to assess, because to try to convey strike one.
Ladies of the entourage of Queen of Night in a la BDSM suits and a dragon with a children's party
first act was presented as a "performance in the play ": directed by Diane Paulus and designer Myung Hee Cho decided that to make a small pavillions in the spirit of 18 th century park in the center of the scene would be cool. Decision this requires a complex direction, that invented the parallels between the roles of the audience did not look at the complete opposite to those roles, from time to time They must also perform in opera.
Aria Queen of the Night (Diana Damrau)
Do not forget that the "Magic Flute" - Mozart's banter, rather than simply retelling Masonic rituals, as they like to simplify some theater critics. Mozart knew that Zoroaster could not pray to Osiris and Isis, etc. Bird-catcher Papageno in bird costume, dragon, trapping the audience, who is good and who is poor - all this is a parody.
And instead of "off on all cylinders," director and the artist mixed in a bunch of people and horses:
Zoroaster with the Sumerian beard, Gates of the Summer Garden, "cuirassiers" from another era, and Pamina in clothes girls still leaves the first ball - so to not respect the viewers need a special nerve!
no less offensive that rich technical capabilities of one of the best theaters in North America remained nevosstrebovannymi: (
from the same children's party were all on stage melkavshie animals.
Couple words about the band: playing badly: (
Despite the fact that I have not heard the "first part" ( Michael Schade - Tamino and Pamina as Isabelle Bayrakdaryan ), I have no claims to the singers: Frederick Antu ( Tamino ), Aline Kutan ( Queen of the Night ), Simon Osborne ( Pamina ), Mikhail Petrenko ( Zoroaster ) were on top. Especially
pleased with the Canadian soprano Aline Kutan performing complex batch to be surprisingly beautiful! It seems that she made her debut at La Scala will be the beginning of further climbing, but it will not forget the alma mater:)
Even in a fairly tough book reviews critics admired Rodion Pogosova . Indeed, the remarkable voice, dramatic talent - all in stock.
I can not fail to note the excellent work of the coach in German: it was played almost all the time and all without English or Russian accent ( or rather because - those who, like me, do not know German, they could not see accents ).
throughout the ensemble, I would note only one weak place: the three "geniuses, 'which are supposed to be singing women ( soprano ), given to real children, the weak voices of the past are constantly frustrated and generally did not have the capacity, the need for a large hall.
afford some considerations around the bush.
you never found it strange that princes fell in love with the portrait, absolutely knowing nothing about the princess? Of course, men like eyes, "but there is a passion that has arisen with one look at the embellished image ( because then there was no other ), there is something false, strained.
Because fundamentally important feats, which makes the prince for the princess: the complexity and barriers are accompanied by emotional experiences, and the last transferred to an object of adoration.
beautifully highlighted the importance of "likeness" for the emergence of feelings: Tamino falls in love with Pamina, Papageno - Papagena in. The latter being the libretto dressed as idiotically as bird-catcher.
To Pamina could fall in love with Monostatos, he should be much better than Tamino, and then there was the racial and social differences, not to mention the affiliation to different camps.
Opera shows how happy the girl is connected with the departure of the matriarchal society of the patriarchal. Simultaneously matriarchal society can only deceive the man, give him a false target.
When does the power of women? As the sun rises. And history is mnogozhestvo examples both evening and night communicating with the queen changed daily decisions of kings.
I would not have carried the statement by luck of the season, but thanks to the genius of Mozart and wonderful voices, and not attributed to failures.
And finally, even a bit of vocal perfection:
