Carlo il Calvo (with Franco Fagioli, Julia Lezhneva & Armonia Atenea) | Bayreuth Baroque 2020

[@davidburbage3348]

What a great Baroque opera renaissance we live in with all this male voice talent that's come along! Or am I just late to the game....either way, I could listen to the singing all day. Sundays are now Baroque Day. This sadly provincial American would love English subtitles so that I could appreciate the plot more, however. If only I'd stuck with French in college.....and added Italian.

Besonderer Dank an die künstlerische Leitung. Lieber Max Emanuel Cencic ich wünsche weiterhin viel Erfolg. Bleiben Sie gesund, damit sie immer Kraft haben Wunderbares zu vollbringen.

[@bernardgravil4397]

un régal, quel plateau , tous aussi éblouissants les uns que les autres . je ne connaissais pas cet opéra Merci grand merci

[@LinoG.Beretta]

Spettacolo magnifico in ogni senso. Un grazie a Margravial Opera per il coraggio di aver messo in scena questo capolavoro del barocco. Biasimo per La Scala di Milano che ci ha proposto l'opera in forma di concerto per una sola sera. Miserabili!

[@lorenzocassani8169]

È un opera assai lunga e non delle più facili da ascoltare , non mi pare strano che sia stata rappresentata solo una volta alla scala

[@monikakramer4823]

Was soll man, bei dieser schönen Musik auch kürzen. ​@@lorenzocassani8169

Julia Lezhneva perfetta. Bruno de Sa perfetto.

She is a kind humble and fantastic person ❤🎉❤

For some reason I couldn't leave a comment but now it allows one to. Right....This is a totally stunning opera in all ways . Porpora,s work transcribes beautifully to this period and probably any other modern setting . The singing and acting by all, is fantastic. Lezhneva and Faglioli excel , as does Cencic. I love this stunning stage production with it's colours and lighting but without doubt the star of the show is Porpora's composition. I would make a comparison to David McVicars Guilio Cesare both for singing and spectacle but now think this beats it. I must also include the amazing orchestra and George Petrou. The music is so beautiful. I am still playing this whole spectacle every day. Thank you from . England.

Great staging and singing, wonderful costumes; the jaded upper-class interiors of the first act are both fun and engaging. I've seen this a few times on Mezzo, happy to see it uploaded to KZbin!

*Тотал Барокко* навсегда! Чудесный спектакль. Подарочный, без сомнения. Контртеноры, Юлия Лежнева, оркестр, чудесные костюмы (особенно женские - *вамп*), сценография - просто блеск. Сценическое движение прекрасно проработано. И хореография, конечно.

[@LeonConradStory]

The love duet from around 2:52:00 to around 3:07:00 - almost beats Handel at his own game - stunning!

[@aaguero]

It begins at 2:54:20.

[@bernardgravil4397]

absolument magnifique . je n' ai jamais entendu pareil duo ni vu un tel jeu des deux interprètes

[@doddsalfa]

Nobody beats Handel 😊

Dank auch an Max Emanuel Cencic für die wunderbare Inszenierung.

[@markkanga8799]

My favorite aria of all time: Spesso di nubi cinto at 2:32:00 Spesso di nubi cinto fra il fosco orror de lampi e di squallor dipinto s’asconde il sole in mar. Ma all’apparire del giorno si vede in oriente di nuova luce adorno sereno scintillar. Sometimes, covered by clouds, amid the grim horror of lightning flashes and with a pale hue, the Sun hides in the sea. But at the dawn of day it can be seen in the east, adorned with new light and sparkling serenely. spesso=sometimes, di nubi=with clouds, cinto=covered, fra=amid, il fosco orror=gloomy horror, de lampi=of lightening, e di squallor=and with pale, dipinto=painted, s’asconde=hides, il sole=the sun, in mar=in the sea, ma=but, all’apparire=at the dawn, del giorno=of day, si vede=it is seen, in oriente=in the east, di nuova luce=with new light, adorno=adorned, sereno=clear, scintillar=shine

[@Genci_Jimenez]

Pero al amanecer del dia Se puede ver en el este, ...esta maravilla, una y otra vez.

[@monikakramer4823]

So eine wunderbare Aufführung. Eine DVD von dieser Produktion wäre fabelhaft. Nur eine CD wäre zu wenig.

Maravillosa obra del barroco desconocido .

Очень красиво поют ! Спасибо за публикацию . После просмотра подумал : "Какое счастье что я родился и живу в России ... "

[@СашаЗо-п4п]

Вещь!

[@johnhudelson2652]

With the gangster mob setting, what we have here is not Tony Soprano; rather, we have Tony Castrato. So, instead of the Sopranos, we have the Castrati. Of course, the male treble singers are countertenors, not castrati.

[@andreveran6768]

Les sous- titres italiens me semblent indispensables.

[@lorenzocassani8169]

There is the libretto online , but they’ve made cuts and inverted the order of a couple scenes

[@maitestorchi2497]

Effroyables arias de torture pour Franco Fagioli ! C'est dans les situations les plus désespérées qu'on détecte les vrais héros ! Affreusement traité, malmené , tabassé, renversé, affublé de lunettes et d'une frange qui le font légèrement loucher ne doit pas être facile de chanter en virtuose comme il le fait ...IL est exceptionnel . Mais le public ne voit et n'entend qu'une pauvre victime , pas une performance magnifique . Porpora n' a pas prévu de traiter ses castrats de cette manière insupportable....

[@Robobagpiper]

My kingdom for surtitles. But really enjoying the performances!

[@janwilson9485]

Musically wonderful - staging appeared jarring. I would rather see a more 'straight' version of an opera so rarely performed.

[@ТатьянаГуторова-я8м]

Кто зает, почему мужские партии поют женскими голосами? Зачем барочные композиторы писали мужские партии писали для кастратов? Насколько мне известно, женщинам нельзя было выступать на сцене, но мужчины-то могли петь. Наверное, такая мода была.

[@artem.salnikov]

Кастраты были более сосредоточены в познании искусства вокала.

[@xresdkj]

Filme pastelão. Os mexicanos são melhores. A chanchada brasileira também. Lamentável. Elenco de alta qualidade musical, ótimas direção musical, orquestra e coro, todos desperdiçados nessas adaptação e produção medíocres.

[@RollaArtis]

Wonderful baroque opera in a wonderful baroque setting but an opportunity ruined by a crazed and ignorant director..

[@lorenzocassani8169]

Why ignorant ?

[@RollaArtis]

@@lorenzocassani8169 Basically because he doesn't understand the dichotomy between the baroque theatre, the baroque music and the totally inappropriate staging, This presumably is intended to be in the 1920's gangster style. It doesn't work and it's a nonsense. Great performances by the artists though, I bought the CD but will never watch it.

[@lorenzocassani8169]

@@RollaArtis i care about the music !

[@RollaArtis]

Quite! @@lorenzocassani8169

[@gabrielpaludo6913]

​​@@RollaArtis yes, Carlo Il Calvo was supposed to be set in the Middle Ages. Still, I prefer this production over those weird modern ones with ugly costumes and scenarios that don't have any meaning. I mean, take the latest production of Vinci's Catone in Utica, the one shown at the Versailles opera, as an example. It's simply absurd.
