A history of a French Don Carlos mirrors the failure of France to provide singers whose career is based on that language. The DVD under consideration reflects that deterioration in that not one singer can claim it as their first language. The Don is Mexican, Posa a Dane, Elizabeth a Georgian, Philip an Englishman,Eboli, a German. As a result we really don't anything resembling French production although Vargas, Miles and Skovhus are better at it than Tamar and Michael. Tamar, howeve, has a beautiful ... Read More

Truly awful. A very bad production. Conductor Bertrand de Billy gives a dull performance. Male singers don't do their job -besides having a dreadful French. Nadia Michael's Eboli would be the only one positive point. Konwitschny directed the opera for the stage and he's the first reason not to buy this dvd: nothing original or interesting here, his little bourgeois mediocrity is everywhere in his choices, the worst being the ballet replaced by a ridiculous «Eboli's dream». What is the point having ... Read More

The French Don Carlos (rather than the Italian Don Carlo) is one of my favorite operas and one of Verdi's greatest. Unfortunately, although this version is well sung, it is a horror visually. One can see the details of this silly production from the other reviews. In their first scene together Carlos and Elisabeth play pick-up-sticks. In the following scene Carlos and Posa crawl around on all fours and behave like drunken fraternity brothers. But the unsurpassed horror is converting the ballet into ... Read More

Don Carlo is an opera that have a lot of different versions, also in italian and in the original french.
Can't compare this version with another one because there's no one more with the original complete music presented in the premier.
The versions before the Abbado's in the early 80's were in four acts and italian lyrics. Since the resurrection of the five acts a lot of versions are presented... like a lot times Verdi's review his work.
Miles is not the best Phillip II... wonder why ... Read More

A very powerful performance this. It uses every note Verdi originally wrote for the Paris production including the ballet music. It is a very good performance with Skovhus and Miles standing out from a fine cast. There are better performances on the other DVDs but this one can pass the test and it has other virtues going for it.
The controversy lies as it does in the regie production. Konvitchny may be controvesial but I 've found if you hear him out he not only makes sense but offers ... Read More
