Beautiful! The cast is wonderful and the staging, costumes and ballets very tasteful.

It was shot in Bratislava, as written in the video at the beginning. No Venice.

I can't resist adding how much I enjoyed the conductor getting on stage to try to oblige the characters to join in a final happy celebration of heterosexual marriage. But 'I want to come back / To my first love' has been sung. In this 12th Night plot, Olivia and Viola/Cesario are too deeply attached to be re-directed so easily.

Un'opera che non conoscevo. La trama è un po' stravagante, ma la musica è fantastica e i cantanti molto bravi. ⚘👍

Interesting - when you stop looking for dramatic interest. My impression is that Vivaldi had little sense of what's dramatic, but has lumbered himself with a silly plot. Here, isn't his music better as the end approached, and it becomes - in this aesthetically sophisticated production - a mood piece? When Shakespeare did his twins plot in '12th Night', that was perfectly worked and timed, but Vivaldi (or at least, in this production) puts us into the stasis of Illyria at the start of Shakespeare's play - love as the game that has gone on too long, the party you are too tired to leave, an addiction to sadness. By the last hour, I was no longer following the plot, could not tell who was who (the costumes and lighting conspire towards this), and just absorbed into the languorous mood and beauty of the music and the stage images. Wonderful performances here, amid the dreaming and mooching about. How clever of the production to let things drift so elegantly to whatever kind of ending that was!

Soberbia producción barroca!

Regina OF Ponto?! What is this silly mixture of Italian and English?! Regina DI Ponto!

Interrumpido de forma inoportuna con avisos comerciales estruendosos y cacofónicos. Lástima.

KZbin est la grande prostituée qui se croit le droit de polluer des vidéos qui ne lui appartiennent même pas par d'abjectes publicités qui interrompent la musique pour promouvoir tantôt les Restos du Cœur, tantôt des faux remèdes pour soigner la prostate. Le goût de l'argent a une bien mauvaise odeur.
