Just watching this does not show an understanding of the subtext within Peter Pan, instead it just looks like making the story "darker" and "more adult" just for the sake of it, when Peter Pan already has plenty of darkness and adult themes, its just mixed with whimsy and beauty. This does not seem to have whimsy or beauty. I am not opposed on the outset of adaptations, but I am opposed when they think themselves better and more sophisticated than the source material.

I already have my tix. But I have to admit that the plot is pretty convoluted. No worse than Il Trovatore though!

Holy shit - He does sound just like Neil Gaiman

this conductor has an obsession with 3 rate opera

Wonderful work and not German in any way

I knew this opera already. I agree the final scene is just fantastic. It always gives me goosebumps! I've listened to your staging and I feel that, in the last scene, the choir is slightly too loud, compared to Arthus. But I got the goosebumps nevertheless! Another understaged French opera from the same period is Dukas's "Ariane et Barbe-Bleue"...

Why hé killed anne

Devil

I love how the armorial bearings of Arthur and his knights are all borrowed from the Great Pendragon Campaign

Amazing Lysiart

First Time I heard about Bard Festival. It's wonderful. Thanks

Watched out of almost idle curiosity. Ended with a sense of wonder - and admiration for rising to the final transformation scene so sensitively. Could so easily descend to kitsch. Cooke, Garrett and White were outstanding voices. Louisa Proske's 'spot on' direction was no surprise, having just seen her Amadigi de Gaula in Halle. Why, oh why, is this opera not performed more? Fisher Center is now on the bucket list. Bravi tutti! GM

Wow! What a gem!! We had Korngolds "Heliane" at Vienna Volksoper, as Concert. But here, the staging and singing is on top and heartbreaking. Congratulation and many thanks for sharing!!!!

❤❤❤❤❤

Great singing, great orchestra, horrible beyond words production.

Für mich eine der schönsten Opern aller Zeiten. Wunderbar hier die Umsetzung mit dem Ballett zu Beginn des dritten Aktes - atemberaubend schön! 👏

In the 1970s, I call the latter half the "Starving Seventies", there was not a lot of happiness or joy in my house. But Spiegelman was a ray of sunshine. Before there was Maus, before there were The Garbage Pail Kids, there were Wacky Packages, by Spiegelman. Those things gave me so many laughs. The gum that came with them was just about inedible, but the laughs! Decomposition Notebook, Air-Raid, Boozo, those things were so funny!! I am eternally grateful to Mr. Spiegelman for bringing some light into my life during a hard time.

I bought tix to see Le Prophet at the festival. I remember that it was performed way back at the Met with Marilyn Horne, but I didn’t see it then.

sorry why the kiss?

Les Troyens, alone, contains an encyclopedia of music that even the greatest composers would be hard-pressed to equal.

So ist Oper nicht vermittelbar nach 5 Minuten schon Reklame und überhaupt unannehmbar Gott sei Dank auf supraphon CD vorhanden

"...an opera that has been neglected without cause." Thank you, Bard!

"This opera is about the extraction of love from the conduct of politics."..."In the end, it is the music that performs the miracle."

"I think this opera is simply about love. The power of love."

"It's long, but you've no better place to go." Wise words Maestro Botstein. Act two's, "Ich ging zu ihm" will win 'em all over, if nothing else.

There is so much I want to say about this but am at loss for words at the moment.

Kudos for performing this neglected masterpiece. But, since it is a first in America, why not do the original staging and not the somewhat militaristic, dystopian approach, that, frankly is becomming passe.

Love this opera, but since it is so infrequently performed, do we really need the dystopian 1984 treatment? However, the performances were stellar.

Korngold said this his finest opera I don't agree but its still a great work with some of his greatest music. This a fine well sung performance.

Ces metteurs en scène sont répugnants.

Quelle horreur ! Ces mises en scène sont affreuses.

Do Antonin a favor and do these as concert operas. The cheesy productions do little to promote these beautiful works.

Thank you so much for posting this! I had never heard of this opera. It is wonderful. The singers are all first class as well as the orchestra. Lovely costumes, scenery. Everything that makes opera great.

quelle merveille ! merci mille fois

If the video is at least 6 years old, and you see the words "in conversation" in the title, you know it's going to be bad.

I wouldn't say he's bad, I'd say he's just a fraud.

absolut fantastic beautiful voices....wonderful production...wonderful staging...congratulations to all, who are involved....thx for uploading this rarely played wonderful opera...

Существование таких вокалистов и таких режиссеров - лучшее доказательство отсутствия Бога

Постановка - среднестастическое говно, дикция- по-русски очень плохо. Достоинство - нет купюр - точно по партитуре Танеева

The soprano is a wonderful singer/actress. The rest of the cast are superb also. The orchrestra and choir---delicious! Bravi

No one surpasses Korngold and Botstein. What a pair! (I remember Tote Stadt)

We have Steven Spielberg and the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation to thank for the enabling of the Academy Award for Holocaust films. Formed during or immediately after and as a result of Schindler’s List, his foundation documented oral histories of over 50,000 stories of living Holocaust survivors.
