PLOT iNFORMATiONZ-------------------------------------> READ 4 TRAXXX !
This 1999 Washington Opera production of Puccini's chocolate box of
an opera isn't perfect, but has many delights. The cast, all verismo
stalwarts, have glamour, fine voices, and are decent-enough actors.
Marcus Haddock looks rather unfortunate clean-shaven here as the
juvenile; his Don Jose at Glyndebourne is much more physically
appealling. Richard Troxell, though, is attractive and funny as
Prunier. Both the female leads are seen to good advantage, with
Inva Mula in particular a delight. The physical production is
lavish but not completely overwhelming, with many witty design
touches in the second act, and a nicely simple beach cottage for
the third act. Marta Domingo's direction is intelligent, thoughtful
and well-detailed. Unfortunate, though, is her decision to impose
a tragic ending on Puccini's own bittersweet resolution. This
opera's frequently characterized as TRAVIATA LITE; tacking on
a suicide for Magda at the final curtain doesn't accomplish much,
except making that comparison seem weighted even more strongly
in Verdi's direction. This is probably the most enjoyable of the
several RONDINES currently in the DVD catalogue; fans of this
opera, or Puccini in general, will enjoy this handsome DG release.
