ESPECTACULAR VERSION

Wow 😊

This was delightful from start to finish, with gorgeous singing throughout, and a nice feeling for Offenbach style from the conductor and his forces. Yes, the production is jokey, but I'm sure a good time was had by all. Special mention has to go to Ms. Costello, whose Duchess brought us brilliantly operatic singing, super-energetic Broadway-quality comic acting and a physical performance the likes of which will never be seen on the operetta stage again! Honorable mentions to the entire remainder of the cast, especially the luxurious high notes of Mr. Yeakley and the sonorous lows of Mr. Powers. If I had any quibble at all, it might be with the over-the-top fey portrayal of Prince Paul, which could have been ordered by the director, or might have been a collaboration between her and the singer. Either way, it was borderline offensive, too obvious and (unusual for this production) unimaginative. Still, it must have been a heck of a night for operetta lovers in Kansas!

Great singers with great acting, great music... and a very nice production! I had tears in my eyes at the final scene of the first act.

Ghastly

Yay! So excited to be apart of this experience! Hope you enjoy your time in Wichita!

My wife will be singing in the choir. We are sooo excited for this.

The bass/baritone who sings Mephistopheles has a noticeable wobble, but Callas and Hans Hotter had wobbles too.

I’m from there. But live in Dana point ca. for many years . Wish I was there to see you. Your the best.

Great, awesome

e canzone ma voi non avete sentito la turandot

Can't stand with this language version!

1:29:02

In francese perde molto.

Nessus dorma 1:15:20

Turandot! That girl's got voice! She should be singing at The Met or Covent Gardens. Calaf is fine if a bit light voiced.

Its a wonderful opera. And above all to be seen still in a surrounding suiting to this opera. Like it should be. Today there mostly no sceneries at all because all were replaced by boring wooden boxes or a few wooden walls and often the performers don t wear the matching costumes.. If I only could see people on stage singing to me, I might listen to a C D as well..This development is disgusting, because it takes these art works out of their time. But it corresponds to the sick direction of sobriety and the abolition of everything traditional culture.

Simply wonderful - and this from a fairly well informed Lehar fan. Thank you so much.

Too bad!! No comments....

I was there! It was a hoot!

C'est l'un de mes opéras préférés, bravo à Monsieur Rossini qui apparament, maîtrise à la perfection la langue de Molière. En revanche, comme je viens de commencer à regarder pour la première fois ce chef d'oeuvre, j'ai été extremement déçu de l'horrible orchestration de l'ouverture, le chef d'orchestre devrait revoir sa copie, elle n'est pas jouée avec émotion. Au début, le violoncelle joue trop rapidement, jouez avec tristesse ! Ce passage montre l'occupation des Autrichiens sur les Suisses, penez votre temps !! Et je ne parle même pas du final, qui devrait être un grand final triomphale et d'espérance pour le peuple Suisse. Toujous la même chose pour le mouvement pastoral, la flûte et le cor anglais jouent trop rapidement ! Encore une fois, PRENEZ VOTRE TEMPS !!!!!!! Jouez le avec tranquilité, on est à la campagne à ce moment de l'ouverture. Bref, franchement monsieur Todorov, je ne vous félicite pas. (Et puis entre nous, il y des biens meilleures chefs d'orchestre que vous, et de loin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Samuel Ramey ; Je n'en peux plu u u u , A quoi bon la revoir oir oir aprés l'avoir quitté é é é eee au secours !!!

Mais quelle honte ! un si bel opéra pollué par des rires imbéciles, des toux incontrôlées, Je n'ai jamais vu et entendu de ma vie une telle catastrophe. Le vibrato de S. Ramey est trop "chevresque" Les autres chanteurs ne méritaient pas ça

Why no CC's?

Bravissimi!

Me dan ganas con esta afrenta, de pisar al enemigo.

Very nice production but it's a pity the singers were not properly "miked" Very enjoyable though.

wichita is a nice opera that isn't infested with internationalist commies and dual citizens. great performance!

Was ist mit Samuel Ramey passiert? Er hat in den 25 Jahren davor, stimmlich wie schauspielerisch, alles Vorangegangene (Christoff, Siepi, Ghiaurov) um Längen übertroffen. Ob alle anderen Stimmen je bessere Zeiten hatten, wäre zu wünschen, kann ich aber nicht beurteilen. Fazit: Mit dieser Aufführung bereitet man dem Metier Oper keinen Gefallen!

What an ignorant audience! Clapping while the orchestra is playing and drowning out Puccini's wonderful music.

A great bit of singing

A difficult aria masterfully done. Gorgeous from start to finish. Bravo!

2:25:00 finale: Tutto cangia, il ciel s'abbella / Tout change et grandit en ces lieux
