- Anna Netrebko and Simon Keenlyside in the final scene of Act II from Giuseppe Verdi's MACBETH "Si colmi il calice di vino eletto"
With Anna Netrebko (Lady Macbeth), Simon Keenlyside (Macbeth), Joseph Calleja (Macduff), Iulia Maria Dan (Dama di Lady Macbeth) a.o.
Paolo Carignani (Conductor)
Bayerisches Staatsorchester
The Chorus of Bayerische Staatsoper
A production by Martin Kušej
Live recorded at Bayerische Staatsoper on July 1, 2014 - Hudba
Immer wieder erstaunlich, wie schnell sich Menschen eine Meinung von einer Inszenierung bilden, nachdem sie ein paar Minuten davon gesehen haben, nur weil sich die Bilder, die sie sehen, mit denen in ihrem eigenen Kopf nicht decken. Es geht doch nicht darum, schöne Gemälde auf die Bühne zu stellen oder eine Geschichte zu erzählen, die im Mittelalter spielt - das wollte Shakespeare mit seinen Stücken auch nicht. Verdi musste, um der Zensur zu entgehen, ständig Tricks anwenden, um die Kirche zu überlisten. Es gibt in der Kunst nicht "die eine" Wahrheit, sondern jeder muss sich seine eigene schaffen. Und das tun Regisseure, wenn auch, zugegeben, nicht immer mit glücklichem Ausgang. Ich kann dieser Szene hier einiges abgewinnen, denn ich verstehe den Text. Und der wird letztlich auch widergegeben.
Anna Netrebko , Du bist die schoenste Frau mit solcher himmlischen Stimme. Bleib noch viele viele Jahre so in Form und reisse noch viele Menschen mit feinem musikalischem Ohr mit, deine kuenstlerische und musikalische Faehigkeit zu schaetzen.
As allways, there are a bunch of selfappointed experts that has to tell the world what Anna Netrebko can do and what she cant. To those, I will say, as Birgit Nilsson ones said: Sing it yourself!
Bravo Bo. Well spoken!!
Verissimo!!!
I love how it looks like they just raided Arlene's Costumes
I ran this through the TACKYMETER and it almost burst it, going past the top ten reading for tacky, tackier, tackiest.
Grandiosa obra y grandes voces, no la conocía.
Buenas tardes🌿
It amazes me that opera houses still force this dated silliness on us. One needs only review the comments left on this site to see that it is a tiny minority who wants to see these ridiculous (I'm sure they would rather have them thought of as imaginative) productions. The rest of us are fed up.
Who in god's name hired this guy with the scrawny, little voice to sing Macbeth?
I worry this role requires too much meat in the middle and lower registers to be healthy for Netrebko's voice. Sure, she sings through it, but with what consequences? The recent performances at the Met were glorified in the Times, but I heard a vibrato that often widened into a true wobble, which is not a good sign. She needs to be careful, especially in an enormous house like the Met. It would be a shame to lose such a talent early to bad judgement. Think of how few singers have ever really embraced this bear of a part. There's good reason for that. It requires a very oddly assembled bag of tricks.
And who really wants to see an opera chorus in their underwear in bad lighting? They tend to look better with their clothes on. (As most of us do.)
originale e degna delle migliori regie tedesche l'idea della bottiglia di Moet e dei bicchieri di plastica!
BRAVA!! ANNA THE GREAT! THE QUEEN OF OPERA! MAGNIFICENT PORTRAYAL OF LADY MACBETH! Anna Netrebko continues to dazzle with her beautiful strong voice and her keen sense of drama. This looks to be a bold production helping to bring opera into the 21st century and away from the boring, bland productions that opera is usually saddled with. The opera snobs will hate it, with their lorgnettes poised and tight fannies, but opera is starting to breathe again with stars like Anna Netrebko, Elina Garanca, Olga Peretyatko, Jonas Kaufmann, Piotr Beczala....the list is long and getting longer. You opera snobs, your type of opera is on the Joan Sutherland channel, always something boring on there.
Simplemente tienes pésimo gusto, es una producción absurda, falta fuerza vocal, la orquesta ahoga las notas de los débiles cantantes en mas de una ocasión. Anna es buena, pero no para este papel.
Well, I hate opera snobs and love Joan Sutherland, so where does that leave me?
***** I too like belcanto. My argument is with those who see opera only as belcanto and ignore the drama. I've gotten comments like "If I want drama, I'll go to the theater." RUBBISH! Opera is THEATER, as well as belcanto. To me Joan Sutherland was only half an artist. A belcanto specialist and zero in the drama category. That's why I ove Anna Netrebko. Not just a beautiful singer but a singing actor. Listen to her in the final scene from the MET'S Eugene Onegin with Kwiecen (Spelling?) Beautiful intense singing and drama that will tear your heart out. As to this production, I too love the traditional staging of Shakespeare, but I admire a director who thinks, is not afraid to step out of the box and attempt something new. Does it always work? No, but at least it's tried. I have seen IL TROVATORE countless times in many cities in over 50 years of attending opera and it always looked like the SAME production. How refreshing to see some of these new realizations of a great old opera. They don't all work but it will take a lot more than a crazy director to ruin the majesty and nobility of masterworks like Verdi and Shakespeare
emmanuel espinoza . Así es München. Te dejan cantar ciertos roles si tienes conexiones y amigos. Si no los tienes no cantas en la Staatsoper München. Es un pantano de corrupoción. Así realmente no es una sorpresa que la calidad haya deteriorado en forma fatal. Bajo August Everding NUNCA se hubiesen cometido tantos errores en el reparto de roles. Lo que tienes que tener para cantar en münchen es frescura, don de diva y amigos, amigos, amigos. No les importa tu calidad vocal.
Charles Henry
Sorry, but the Macbeth requires a Verdibariton at least if not a dramatic voice. The poor guy with his tiny lyric voice can´t be heard most of the time. Seems to be that in München "connections" are far more important as vocal power.
Total misunderstanding of Verdis piece! Why they want to play Macbeth without Macbeth?
I found this eurotrashlingly interesting... Singing very reasonable, very brave chorus (to undress... Their singing is solid beyond reproach)...Calleja needs some quad training... And lovely SKeenlyside...I would definitely go see this production... And some traditional one as well....
I honestly think that they should’ve put them in a production of Billy Budd.
Супер!!!
incrivel como cantores deste calibre se prestem a estas palhaçadas...o que faz o $$$$$$$$$$
my friend, nowadays you can't be as picky as you could once. The great theaters don't have a penny, especially in Italy and beyond, and they pay the singers even two years late and in any case this is a job and you have to do what they ask you to bring home the loaf. The singer thinks of singing his part, and if the director is shit, the director puts his signature on the poster, not the singer ...
Why Netrebko has a head under the dress???
I don't understand the scene.
Poor Verdi!
Did you read the play?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
I don't know if anyone else saw the Berlin Nabucco back in 2000, where the chorus was dressed in bumble bee costumes and Abigaille was dressed in a man's suit with judge's robes, open. It was hilarious. This is even more so, so tacky it would only suit Dame Edna's temperament and not Lady M's!
There is a new production now in Berlin and instead of tacky it´s just boring. I rather go for some silly ideas than none at all.
Povero Maestro Verdi perdona loro perchè non sanno quello fanno
How can an important theatre stage a master piece in such a ridiculous way?
This a nightmare at all levels. Netrebko does not have the voice for this.
Just going to run and listen to the 87 production SINOPOLI - ZAMPIERI- BRUSON .... THE BEST MACBETH TILL THE END OF TIMES
Oooooooh yes, that was amazing. I was there and Zampieri drove everybody crazy.
Diosa.
ABOMINABLE, PAS D,AUTRE MOT POUR QUALIFIER CE SPECTACLE SI ON PEUT DIRE, PLUSTOT UN TRUC DE CIRQUE. DOMMAGE CAR C,EST UN CHEF-OEUVRE DE VERDI. LE MET DEVRAIT AVOIR HONTE DE PRESENTER UNE CHOSE PAREILLE
C'est pas une presentation du Met, mais du Bayerisches Staatoper!
Unfortunately, its the same in every opera all over the world
Who are those 156 deaf people that liked her singing here... I feel preoccupied
Vogliamo commentare la regia??????????
+bruno gaudenti
e i protagonisti ????????????
Wow! Her voice soars through the loud chorus! Well done Miss Anna... :-)
🎤🎤🎤
They should all be embarrassed and ashamed of this destruction of art.
I honestly think that if this were a regular opera production...I honestly think that Simon should’ve been Banquo and Anna the lady in waiting. That or they could do a production of Magic Flute where he played Papageno and her Papagena.
Das momentane Elend des Verdi-Gesangs wird bei Netrebko und Keenlyside hörbar. Das hat mit Belcanto - und in der Tradition steht "Macbetto" - nichts zu tun.
Personally, I think all of the "Shakespeare operas" should be staged exactly like traditional productions of Shakespeare's plays: period costumes in rich colors, elaborate, period settings. I don't agree with modernizing them.
Detectivefiction Absolutely! Perform the opera the way the composer intended it to be performed! I hate the modernizations that are being presented so often.
Great idea - let´s ask those composers what they wanted. And please be precise because everything else would be subjective and interpretation. Can´t wait to see the results ;-)
Producció inapropiada...
Макбет - это Гулегина... А тут - постановка классная, но Нетребко, всё таки, не драматическое сопрано... Как ни крути))
DEI BRAVI ARTISTI COME LA NETREBKO DOVREBBERO RIFIUTARSI DI METTERE IN SCENA UNA REGIA COSI' SCHIFOSA E NON ATTINENTE AL LIBRETTO
Horror! absoluto.
+emmanuel espinoza
anche terror uditivo .
The stage director was either drunk or insane when he put this production together. Whatever the reason, it simply doesn't work. Was this his or her attempt to be innovative ?
George Sigalos: Well said signor!!!
Gorgeously sung. Silly staging.
BTW I respect Netrebko. She is a professional and SUCCESSFUL soprano, so enough of the insults. I just hated the stupid staging!
She cant handle this role. I am sorry but it's obvious she is bearing the notes through utterly pushing her voice, with overwhelming scratches on the lower-middle register
Hallo operaclassicc, Hoehr doch bitte mal genau zu dann hoerst du sicher keine Kratzer,-------oder deine Lautsprecher sind reparaturbeduerftig.
Hi Emil Meister. There are a quite a lot of scratches especially in the segmentation of the phrase : Si colmi il calice di vino... The syllables are over-pushed, thus bringing some conditional notes or whatever they can be called. Generally she does not have this ones, but trying to sing everything like Lady Macbeth for instance, more than of a triumph, has shown some problems of the voice.
Couldn’t have said it better
Ich verstehe nicht, warum sich die ganze Horde auszieht, wenn der Macbeth am Abdrehen ist. Und warum wird Macbeth mit einem lyrischen Bariton und nicht mit einem Verdibariton besetzt???
Teil 2: Ich glaube, es gibt einfach nicht mehr genug. Keenlyside singt und spielt alles gleich. Macbeth oder Rigoletto - völlig egal. Leider
Прекрасная Анна !... зачем... зачем вы участвуете в таком спектакле ????? вам это не подходит.... это не ваше...
$$$$$in other words money changes everything
Simon Keenlyside... no no no no....
You need a solid baritone voice for Macbeth
vergogna signor ...
How to trash a truly great work, just by silly costumes and blocking and other silliness. The Marx Brothers were more respectful to Il Trovatore than this nonsense. I expect somehow Verdi WILL survive however.
Netrebko sieht aus wie Cindy aus Marzahn - klingt aber beeindruckend. Keenlyside eher wie ein Papageno in Schottland im Winter ohne Mantel - schrecklich!
Esplendida escena final 2º acto..¡¡¡
Me gustan tus comentarios sempre tan positivos y, como a ti, me encanta Anna.
Aunque esta producción me parece un poco absurda.
Ridiculous stage direction.. they actually paid someone for this? ridiculous costumes as wel...Anna needs to work this with an acting teacher... looking "malicious" in the face like a child would :D isnt acting, it is quite ridiculous.. the singing is very good though, but it wont be enough for the lady M
Yes it was an utterly ridiculous production. I actually saw it. But German Opera houses always do weird modern and bizarre productions. Anna however did a very good job of the singing and generally musically it was good. She sang a really good una macchia except she didn't manage the "fil di voce" as per the score the way Callas let it float and die away but overall she did a very good job. Btw do you realise those white balls on the stage are skulls made out of some white plastic!!! What do they signify/ that Macbeth in his 17 year reign killed a lot of people? All kings did in those days or they wouldn't have survived on the throne.

Stupid people being paid big money to illustrate their stupidity ;)

Everyone has noticed that the staging looks silly at first sight, but no one seems to notice that Simon Kennlyside is taking a role that is just too much for him.
Шампанское и одноразовые стаканчики, конечно " впечатляют", а после начинается, ну прямо "АД" Данте
Wretched.
This is not good. I watched Cappuccilli and Verrett then watched this. The difference is striking.
Of course it is but they unfortunately died.
Simon keenlyside est en méforme totale. Dommage. Le contraste est douloureux par rapport à Netrebko qui, elle, est superlative !
Wer hat denn hier wieder Regie geführt???-Netrebko im damatischen Fach ist erstaunenswert--Der Regisseur sollte ausgebuht werden
Inascoltabili! Che orrore
The singing is first rate, but I am completely baffled as to the meaning behind everyone stripping down to their underwear. Whatever the production designer thought I just don't get. Could someone enlighten me about the meaning behind it - I must be pretty dense (no comments please) but it's not immediately obvious to me.
Sometimes you have to see the whole production to understand just one scene only. Maybe they are the witches trying to seduce Macbeth. Maybe they´re stripping to show to everybody that they don´t hide a knife somewhere.
Yes, stupid and ugly production, but she is really terrible.
+NiemandNY She's singing flat too often...driving me crazy.
Poor singer having to go through the vision of the superego metteur en scene, awfull Toxydo, does not come out a bit credible the problem now it is there for eternity. I hope he can still sleep. He can say no i dont wear that shit... basta.
WOW this is bad... like really bad. Unless this a joke, and if this is a joke is not that funny... just saying.
What a Terrible production. Horrible :-(
nightmarish!! What's that of everybody in mediaval costumes and Macbeth in tuxedo - then all in underwear............? Sorry, Charles Henry - I'd rather stuck to boring sutherland channel.
You are more than welcome to the one dimensional, unimaginative Joan Sutherland channel. Nothing new or creative there.
Charles Henry There is a difference between being imaginative and "creating" rubbish. Yes, let the modern “geniuses” use their imagination, but leave Verdi alone.
iosonobanquo Wow, if everyone had your vision and drive, we'd still be riding horses and reading by candlelight. This Macbeth might not be yours or my preference but at least theatre people are trying to be creative and bring what is essentially a dead art, opera, some new life, and I applaud that!
Ghastly!
Messa in scena senza il minimo senso del ridicolo!
Anna's legs sang well.
big names in a TERRIBLE production.
Keenlyside is vocally disappointing...
What a horrendous and pretentious staging!!
The choir is almost disastrous, perhaps because of the conductor and/or stage director. At first they weren't in time but then they recovered. The most annoying thing is the subdivision of the syllables that include the consonant "s" at the beginning of the word, perhaps due to insufficient knowledge of the Italian language. Example: "bie-chi ar-cani ... Sgo-men-ta-to da fan-tas-mi etc etc ..." For needs of musical quadrature words like fan-TAS-mi must be pronounced wrong: fan- ta-SMI but not everyone does it by saying at random. This neglect due to foreign (not Italian) choir directions produces an annoying hiss due to the lengthening of the "s" because some say it according to the rule of spoken language and some according to the musical need to move the "s" in the syllable next one. I'm trying Macbeth these days and my choir director just hint of making the same mistake eats us alive ...
Bizarro, innecesario, mal gusto, absolutamente irrespetuoso con la obra original. En ese sentido ni siquiera es "una adaptación". Es solo efectismo vanguardista barato, para dar que hablar por unas semanas. Un horror.
Anna no está tan mal, pero la producción es intragable.
Is it just me or am I turned off by Netrebko's over-acting? Singing technique a problem.
Why do opera singers put up with such idiotic staging ?
OH MY GOD, WHAT A TERRIBLE PRODUCTION. I THINK IT IS NO NEED TO GET UNDRESS ON STAGE, YOU CAN FLY WITH YOUR IMAGINATION AND CREATE WOUNDERFUL THING BUT THIS HAS NO NAME, WHAT A LACK OF CLASS. YOU CAN UP DAY TIME BUT NOT BY DOING SOMETHING THAT PUT YOURSEL IN RIDICULOUS AS A PRODUCER.
Makes me sick!! Poor Joe Green, I'm sure he'd use that alias if he saw this piece of crap production!!!
So sad to see this visual mess. I laughed out loud at them in their grubby underwear! Another hilarity is Netrebko in Il Trovatore - a German production, of course - which is performed as a pantomime. Pity because, apart from the guttural trills, she sings some good high notes. No facial movement or inner expression for acting, though. Regardless of whether someone is an opera buff or "snob" whatever that is - everyone has eyes and ears, right? Perhaps differing levels of seeing and hearing ability, though. Hence the disagreements.
She is seriously struggling. This is obviously not her role. And that would be fine if this was a one off and she wasn't constantly doing roles like this, but she is. Which proves she has no idea and is truly clueless, but also arrogant. She's taking these roles from people who can actually sing them. So good riddance Anna, no sympathy.
Yeah, she was so clearly 'struggling' that a sophisticated Bayerische audience sold out her shows every night she was on stage....
Yes ,ridiculous stage,poor Verdi!
+MsPleyades
io direi più tosto poveri noi !...
Verdi è divino,non può essere ''povero''....
Che schifo, ma non si vergognano TUTTI? Verdi si sta rivoltando nella tomba e maledice quest'epoca di arroganti pseudo artisti!
Anna Netrebko se sort pas si mal que cela de cet air si difficile ,où il faut allier puissance de l'émission et passage d'agilité .Sa technique est correcte et elle restitue très bien les trilles et les traits virtuoses .La mise en scène en revanche est d'un ridicule et d'une vulgarité sans nom .Ce n'est pas la faute des chanteurs ,mais du metteur en scène .Il est nul et inculte .
Absolutely terrible...poor Verdi..
Horrible!!!
Anna is amazing as always,
but production is horrible.
Instead of directing the original story, the director most probably had his personal nightmares possibly with juvenile polutions, transfered onto a stage in order to cure his exhibitionism. The conductor went too fast and the result is a shambles: uglu performance, a lot of bad singing as well as ugly lady Macbeth, thank you very much for nothing!!!!
This is not Verdi. This is rubbish. And the voices are completely inappropriate for the roles of Macbeth and the Lady.
Terrible 😣
Horrible, disgusting production
Netrebko is a awfully bad singer and the direction is terriblement tragique
Netrebko is not a coloratura soprano. This and “Vieni T’affreta” make this a coloratura role. She does not have coloratura ability to handle this.
