Customer Reviews of Rossini - La Cenerentola / Campanella, Bartoli, Dara, Houston Grand Opera
Magnífica 'Cenerentola' Esta funciýn procedente de la ýpera de Houston de una de las mejores ýperas de Rossini es sin duda la mejor versiýn visual disponible hasta la fecha de esta obra. <
>En lo vocal, todos rinden a un nivel estupendo. Comenzando por una CECILIA BARTOLI excelente, tanto en lo escýnico como en lo vocal: su pirotýcnica coloratura es de impresiýn y su voz es bellýsima. Cantar el papel mejor que ella en la actualidad es muy dificil. <
>Junto a la joven Bartoli tenemos al veterano ENZO DARA, un Don Magnifico cuya voz no es especialmente hermosa (nunca lo ha sido) pero con muchas tablas, y con un conocimiento profundo de su personaje. Implicadýsimo en la trama de principio a fin, siempre con mucha comicidad. Un clýsico que se agradece. <
>El Don Ramiro de RAUL GIMENEZ es un derroche de clase, conocimiento de estilo rossiniano y belleza vocal. Su trabajo es digno del mýs fuerte de los aplausos. <
>El Dandini de ALESSANDRO CORBELLI, cýmico y cantado a la altura de los mejores en este papel, sigue sumando puntos a un reparto sin fisuras, que se completa con el lujoso Alidoro de MICHELE PERTUSI y unas cýmicas Clorinda y Tisbe, que hacen sus pinitos en los concertantes. <
>La direcciýn de BRUNO CAMPANELLA, aunque adecuada, podrýa pecar de algo lenta en algun momento. <
>La producciýn de la ýpera de Houston es lujosa, variada, divertida y coherente con la historia; y la realizaciýn televisiva es muy adecuada. <
>Todo esto redondea una gran 'Cenerentola', que no deberýa faltar en casa de ningýn aficcionado a la ýpera. Imprescindible.
Forget Disney
While this production looks (potentially) magical, there's no magic in the plot, just the singing. Get Disney's take out of your head and everything starts making sense. This is Bartoli's signature role (note the book "Cinderella & Company") and she enjoys her feisty take on the girl. An excellent light entertainment for anyone who enjoys opera or the musical theater.
Great singing with a little twitching thrown in
I love this video for the singing. As a matter of fact, I would recommend it over Bartoli's Decca cd recording because the best principal singers are the same, except in this video, you get Raul Giminez as the Prince, instead of William Matteuzzi on the cd, and although Giminez' voice is a bit lighter, it's a prettier voice, and his fioratura is much more smooth and lovely. La Cenerentola is Bartoli at her finest vocally - it suits her sound and vocal style perfectly, but the acting is another matter. Bartoli is just not funny to me, plus she does alot of odd twitching and jerking that are terribly annoying.

>Corbelli is great both vocally and as an actor. Giminez is enjoyable. Pertusi is fine. Dara gives me the same feeling as Bartoli - a bit too silly, but his singing is fine. There is a serious message to this opera that doesn't come across because of the ridiculousness of some of the acting and some of the costumes: The message is that 'goodness triumphs', which is the alternate title of this opera, and I personally feel this opera needs a handful of elegance and subtley (sorely lacking in this video) to convey that message in a witty way.
