Customer Reviews of Making Opera: The Creation of Verdi's La Forza Del Destino
Great behind-the-scenes look! Ever wonder what it takes to create an opera production? This production documents 21 days of rehearsal for Toronto Opera's production of Verdi's _La Forza del Destino_. Everything is covered: chorus rehearsal, set design and construction, costume design, wig production, staging. One of the more difficult operas to produce, _Forza_ is nonetheless a great backdrop for the documentary. It has one of those wildly improbable plots, full of twists and unexpected turns -- just what one might expect in putting on a production of this size and complexity. As a veteran of more than a few such productions (as a singer, both chorus and soloist), I can speak from experience that Murphy's law definitely applies! You learn quickly to roll with the punches and to expect the unexpected.
John Copley's brilliant stage direction along with Maurizio Arena's sensitive musical direction are highlighted. The singing is first-rate, and seeing the production go from the earliest sing-throughs to early staging to final run-throughs with everything in place is truly fascinating.
