I attended a performance of Nabucco in July 2022 at the Arena di Verona. Amazing experience and atmosphere.

Merci beaucoup pour cette performance avec les sous-titres compris.

Don't understand this modern interpretation of the great Aida.
The main attraction of this magnificent opera is just in the special atmosphere of Ancient Egypt and its unique clothes .
We have already enough opera situated in modern times

I'm grateful to have this to watch.

Verona...Italy....no comment...top stage and atmosphere...top opera country. But...
I really don't want to touch the honor and reputation of the artists performing here, they performed to the limit of their abilities...but who did the selection and casting of soloists for such spectacular performances and how?
Especially for Amneris and partly also for Aida. Both were especially in the lower passages with difficulties at their limit. It's a shame, the opera is beautiful, one of the best in terms of music, singing and scenery. It is always a great challenge for those who take it on and want to perform it well...,

Aida de Verdi, a Verona, sensacional

[luisfer]

Está producción es la más espectacular que jamás haya visto. Supera todas las producciones de Aida en ese mismo escenario años atrás. Vestuario, concepto de la historia con problemáticas modernas Ni hablar de la escenografía maravillosa y la forma como ella se va construyendo a largo de la ópera. El uso de tecnologías fascinante. Es demasiado espectacular

This is great and everlasting Verdi in ... high-tech tomorrow?

[HomoErectusSum]

this production is a revelation. who would have thought royal egyptians back in the old kingdom dressed this way? now we know.

[Zviezda]

Но я жду на 1 :21:10, что вот этот огромный квадрат над сценой должен улететь в космос...с Амнерис и Радамесом...но ничнго пока никуда не улетело...смотрим дальше...

??? Giovanna Casolla ??? Amnéris à 78 ans ???

[josepacifico-mcpr]

RAZON!!!... la fura del baus, TERRORIFICO!!!

[jorgeloffler]

No me gustó la puesta de la Fura. Aida ya es en sí un gran espectáculo operistico y no hace falta adherirle uno circense.Por otro lado la señora Casolla en una soprano con aproximadamente 35 años de carrera y a llegado el momento de sus adioses si ya no lo hizo.

[Tomm]

Horrible scenery, electric motorcycles in ancient Egypt? I can’t stand this modern productions😡

[georgesclermont]

La Fura's productions have abandoned any pretense of producing opera and become fabulous circus shows.

[Christopher-hbwx]

Based on a ... "screenplay"?

[Shahrdad]

The high C in O patria mia sounds flat, otherwise she's good. The Amneris sounds too old.
