La Traviata, Paris 2007, Christine Schäfer, Jonas Kaufmann

[@michaelfuting2403]

Christine Schäfer bricht mir das Herz, so beseelt und nicht langweilige Stimmschönheit, sie führt diese Szene - nicht die Männer...

[@cynthiachase3427]

Glorious Christine Schafer. One should watch and listen to all of this La Traviata again.

[@merceines7797]

Grand voz un buen actor y su belleza junto con su juventud ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cynthiachase3427]

fabulous singing and acting. To be able to act out abjection like this, as Kaufmann does, is extraordinary.

[@christawietholter3247]

Beide Sänger noch so jung - und schon so große wunderbare Stimmen!! Enorm . . .

[@helgawolter5816]

Christine Schafer and Jonas Kaufmann have great voices.

[@fleurdelis9939]

[@babinesrouges5128]

Merci Monsieur Mortier!

[@jackylen57]

Que de belles voix : celle de Kaufmann bien sûr mais j'aime aussi José van Dam Merci

[@marinacaracciolo5940]

Messa in scena assai discutibile, ma gli interpreti - in particolare, naturalmente Jonas Kaufmann - sono davvero eccellenti!

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Final del 2º acto , con un trio de Voces extraordinario

[@Klinxor]

Kaufmann is outstanding!

[@juanantoniomunozherrera9280]

JK: Gran actor y gran cantante. Un verdadero artista. Me encanta la idea de régie, además. Y Christine Schäfer hace un trabajo también muy interesante sin ser una voz para Violetta,

[@juanamariamalvarezcid8587]

❤❤❤❤

[@mellismellis7765]

Hoe I love this production - just like I love to remember Kaufmann - he was great then.

[@marxgraf]

Super Inszenierung und eine wunderbar untypische Violetta.

[@motardbear15]

Mise en scène SCANDALEUSE ! Direction d'orchestre CALAMITEUSE ! Quel gâchis avec de TELS chanteurs...UN Gâchis de plus !! Pauvres Kaufmann, Van dams et Schafer !!! UNe parodie de Traviata...

[@arankaneumann-kd1iv]

Csodalatos előadás lehetett. Szívesen megnézném, ha lehetne.

[@GERMANYFrankie]

@motardbear15 correct!

[@docudoc100]

What an unimaginative stage direction: full of cliches, staignant positioning of chorus members. The singers are definitively good, particularly Schaffer. I would prefer a lyric tenor for Alfredo, though. I am happy I saw it, though, Thanks for sharing.

[@cavadefeo]

Mr.Kaufmann: You are a great singer and you don't need to perform La Traviata as you did.The direction is worst. Poor Verdi!

[@szegedification]

I agree the direction is horrible. Jonas Kaufmann is great.

[@elidafrankel2699]

I do not like the mise en escene. Although the voices are very good.

[@richstout]

The singer in the white dress looks like baby Spice.

[@claudinethuet9581]

“ Cette terrible production “ fait cependant sens car elle montre s’il en était besoin que l’histoire de Violetta Verdi est celle Marie Duplessis courtisane du 2d Empire est celle de Marguerite Gautier, la Dame aux camélias d’Alexandre Dumas fils, fort amoureux de son héroïne, peut être transposée à toutes les époques. La transposition est celle de la vie d’Édith Piaf et celle de son 2ème mari, Théo Sarapo. Certes la coiffure de Jonas Kaufmann est ridicule. Il en a beaucoup ri lui-même à l ‘émission de Ruquier “On n’est pas couché “ sur la 2ème chaîne française le 7 octobre 2017. Le rire bavarois de Jonas Kaufmann est en soi une légende. C’est le rire de Mozart dans “Amadeus”.

[@cynthiachase3427]

Thank you, this is valuable knowledge.

[@6591lucaf]

BUT the heck is she saying ?? not a single syllable is comprehensible and mostly invented..

[@artshouldbebeautiful6407]

The only saving grace of this particular production is that it's actually pretty hysterically funny. Wasn't even Kaufmann barely able to keep from laughing at one point? It of course makes it all amusing to watch, but strangely not in synch with the tragic subject. But then again.. who cares? Not like this opera has a particularly meaningful moral message. A kind of 19th century 'Pretty Woman' deal about a rescued prostitute. Dream on. Now if they do this to Fidelio, i will be pretty upset.

[@simonboccanegra3811]

I think it does, really. It's a good drama. It's worth considering, why a woman we first see surrounded by people at a party says in the next act that she has no friends, and dies almost alone. It's an indictment of some elements of society.. However, re: this production, I have to say that compared to some of Marthaler's other work, this looks almost good (on the evidence of the few clips I've seen). I would gnaw my own arm off to get away from watching his Tristan or Tales of Hoffmann again.

[@katherineroppel4595]

ArtShouldBeBeautiful Well I guess you know by now that they did do this to Fidelio. Almost no opera is off-limits from the avant-garde Regis today. Some work and some don't. I struggle with this all the time. Keep on supporting opera though.🤓

[@lluisafernandoguardia9721]

Inmejorable.
