UNA TOTAL SORPRESA ESTA INESPERADA VERSIÓN DE UNA DE LAS TANTAS OBRAS MAESTRAS DE ROSSINI, CON DIRECTOR, ORQUESTA, ESCENOGRAFÍA E INTÉRPRETES DE LUJP

[@camilomarks5616]

El ÚNICO PROBLEMA DE ESTA MARAVILLOSA PRODUCCIÓN, ES LA ABSOLUTA AUSENCIA DE SUBTITULACIÓN. PARA MÍ ESO NO ES UNA FALTA, PUES LEO Y HABLO ITALIANO, PERO QUIZÁ LOS REALIZADORES DEBERÍAN HABERLA SUBTITULADO EN INGLÉS, FRANCÉS, ALEMÁN, ESPAÑOL U OTRO IDIOMA ACCESIBLE PARA LOS FANÁTICOS ROSSINIANOS.

Oh! What a great voices!

Stupendi tutti bravi le scene magnifiche Boboli è il luogo più adatto per tutte le opere peccato non esserci di persona visto che abito a pochi passi bravissimi

[@VladChess]

Daniel Miroslaw is spectacular, in both diction and phrasing. Funniest Don Magnifico since Montarsolo and Corbelli!

[@johnsarkissian5519]

Do you find him funny? I actually found him to be too serious and too angry! Also looking and acting too young to be the father of two adult girls. But I liked his singing very much.

[@VladChess]

@@johnsarkissian5519 I found his comedic timing impeccable, yes, despite a body language that was maybe a bit stiff. But then Corbelli, Dara, and Montarsolo aren't that much different

[@johnsarkissian5519]

@@VladChess I agree with you about his comedic timing. On the other hand, Corbelli, Montarsolo and Dara really looked the part. They were already funny to look at. But a young and good looking man with hardly any makeup and a rather stern facial expression doesn’t look funny to me. That said, Baveyan (singing Dandini) is also young and good looking, and I have seen him in serious roles where he is fantastic, and yet here he also manages to be extremely funny. Perhaps it’s just a matter of facial expressions.

Восхитительная постановка ! Понравилось все ! Спасибо за публикацию .

What a magnificent prodution. Even though the singers aren't superstars they are just as good. The sings and acting is outsranding. Even the orcheastra was wounderful. All I can say is, this is fantastic. Thankyou so much for posting this.

[@paoloperrelli3226]

Viva la gioventù! Questa edizione del capolavoro rossiniano probabilmente non passerà alla storia, ma scenografia, costumi, entusiasmo giovanile degli interpreti ne fanno uno spettacolo godibilissimo, pur in presenza di qualche imperfezione qua e là; criticabile, poi, la scelta di avere omesso la"aria di Alidoro", forse la più bella musica mai scritta per basso...

[@МаринаЯковина-ч9е]

Очень,очень красивый спектакль!Яркий,как фейерверк!Прекрасная сказка!Оформление изысканно и оригинально!И музыка Дж.Россини всегда упоительна!Благодарю за предоставленное наслаждение!

Belissimo, wunderschön. Eine großartiges Theater ! 😊💐

[@michaelwestgate2124]

A kaleidoscope of a production! I am not really a fan of back projections but in this case they were so creative and beautiful they deserved an applause all of there own. Svetlina Stoyanova is a delight, the costumes were fabulous and the lighting was better than most in house opera productions these days. Congratulations to all, and it is nice to see everyone involved fully credited. 10/10

[@rosellaraps8987]

WOW !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Apparently it's based on the story of Cinderella, but the wonderfulness of thearia and the duet are an order of magnitude more awesome FromTokyo

[@luizhenriquetrompczynski139]

Sem palavras … emocionante , belíssimo . A Cenerentola é um hino aos bons sentimentos, ao perdão, a bondade … faz bem ouvir !

[@ravkesef]

A beautiful and stunning performance. The music was marvelous, Stoyanova’s singing was non-pareil And by the time she got to the finale, when her voice should have been giving out, it was as if she had an oxygen tank strapped to her back. Her rendering of “non più mesta,” was simply incredible. I found the lighting to be amazing, and it gave so much to the overall performance. I have seen the opera about thirty times and would rate this as one of the top three performances along with von Stade and DiDonato.

[@arthurweiss9336]

Seen this opera many times and never saw it as gloriously portrayed as this in living color!!! Also the patter is excellent!

[@helenaconstantine]

So you've seen a film of it in black and white before?

Thank you !! I just happen to see this in my feed. Great luck. This production is mesmerizing.

Thank you for posting this very nice performance, I wish Mrs Svetlina Stoyanova a bright future in the rossinian repertoire...

[@KASH10043]

Wonderful! I was not expecting an outdoor performance to be so good. Some amazing singing and interesting staging. I really appreciate this, especially during these frightening times when most theaters have been shuttered.

[@gregnaimo8123]

Very good production - a visual feast and good use of projections.. bravi!!

[@wewper]

I am familiar with the opera, have seen it many times, and have several recordings of it. But I'm not a native speaker of Italian, so it would have been helpful to have subtitles. But that's my only quibble. This is such a fun production, so lovely to look at. Good singing.

[@hansguenter4030]

Thank you very much for this excellent produktion of La Cenetentrola. The orchestra plays everything through the score at a very high level with ease and pleasure. The singing skills are on a very high level. Bravo! I especially liked the colorful videos. Unfortunately, the sound on the left and right stereo channels was only mono for me. Maybe something can be improved there. Kind regards from Bonn, Germany

[@cmotherofpirl]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@tiagomalatoportugal]

Gaertnerplatztheater, vielen Dank für dieses prächtige Opernhaus! Fantastisch alle! Ich danke, in der Person von Maestro Dobrovsky, die gesamte ausgezeichnete Gesellschaft.

[@ianwilkinson4602]

Absolutely bloody magnificent, such ingenuity and imagination. The orchestra is superb, the costumes are lavishly beautiful, the performances are stellar in the extreme. I have now almost run out of superlatives :-) I haven't come across this opera by Rossini, such a joyful experience, thank you to everyone involved for making my day. Cheers and stay safe to all concerned.

[@elspethmiller7572]

Thoroughly enjoyed this, beautiful singing.....

[@steffeng40]

The Rossini Opera Festival opens its autumn season this weekend with two streamed concerts, in which I believe Svetlina Stoyanova takes part, next weekend will be the two productions of Barbiere and Viaggio a Reims, and I think she will sing Rosina there.

[@thenewgenerationfestival5761]

[@ugomortini4560]

😊

[@orion8835]

Stoyanova sang everything very lightly until the finale. Cenerentola is not a soprano role. It is supposed to be dark and lower. This essaying was pleasant but lacked the contralto demands to contrast with the extremely high tenor part. Fun production with much color and unusual mashup of historical periods. Everyone else sang well. The microphones were working however.

Театр теней вначале увертюры подготавливает зрителя к началу повествования. Титры в конце нечёткие

[@helenaconstantine]

Ok. The stage designer figured out the big number at the end is connected to mechanical machinery--a hot new thing in Rossini's time. But what does it have to do with the 17th century? And why do the singers all have the Mark of the Beast on their foreheads?

[@pjkhunold]

It's open air. What you see are microphones

[@dulcamara2851]

Superb everybody, video projection mapping is magical, colors a phantasmagoria, graphics extraordinary, a lightness pervading the stage true to Rossini. The New Generation Festival absolutely magnificent, very creative! Expressing admiration for Svetlina Stoyanova does not suffice, I can only add that... lovely Svetlina, your smiling is enchanting, you are an angelic power, and perhaps you will donate Armida to the world? Rather than seeking words to eulogize your 'Nacqui all'affanno...' , I should write you a love letter, for your gran finale is verily a hurricane of love through the universe!

[@mianom]

Body mics should be hidden in the hair/wig or a hat, not plastered onto the foreheads of singers....if a video is going to be made of a production. Also, visually the production face is too busy. Otherwise, it is fine.

[@MMSTREAMINGIPTV]

Meu Deus! O Maestro Rossini deve estar dando voltas no túmulo. Nunca ouvi uma coisa tão pertubadoramente ruim como essa produção de La Cenerentola.

[@MaestroWenarto]

Great performance too bad it is MONO

[@janettucker3196]

Why isn't the prince clean shaven according to the period? This anachronism drives me crazy. I figured the Italians would know better.

[@juorhe64]

¿Acaso este Alidoro no puede con “Là del ciel nell'arcano profondo”? Vaya chasco que hayan eliminado tan sublime aria de esta representación. Me retiro en ese punto de su ausencia sin escuchar el resto del evento; ya no me interesa. Me ha resultado bochornoso.

[@dulcamara2851]

Bravissimi tutti, stupendo l'uso delle tecnologie di proiezione, i colori fantasmagorici, e l'ideazione grafica straordinaria, una leggerezza che spira tutta Rossiniana. The New Generation Festival assolutamente magnifici, incredibilmente creativi! Per Svetlina Stoyanova non basta l'ammirazione infinita, si puo' solo aggiungere, posso osare il 'tu'?, che il tuo sorriso incanta... Svetlina Stoyanova, sei veramente un'angelica possanza, forse ci regalerai Armida? Ma piu' che parole d'elogio, per lodare il tuo 'Nacqui all'affanno...' dovrei scrivere una lettera d'amore. Perche' il tuo gran finale e' un'uragano d'amore per tutto l'universo!
