5.0 out of 5 stars A performance with very good cast
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2015

When this DVD was released I was not going to buy it because it has been criticized for changing the era to the Victorian period which altered the meaning. I think that this story can happen in ours days.
I understand the tragedy of these two people who are in love and have to face Lucia’s brother opposition to their relationship forcing her to marry someone her brother wants because he’ll solve the family economic issues. As a result of this marriage she looses her sanity and kills her husband.
I found the scenery very evocative, for instance were the ghost of a girl who died in the fountain appeared while Lucia sang her first area showing her tormented thought. The transformation from the “mad scene” to the scene at the cemetery when Edgardo sang his last two areas is beautiful
The cast was very good.
Anna Netrebko in the main character was very convincing, her lover; Edgardo played by Piotr Beczala who substituted Rolando Villazon was very good showing his affection for her, disappointment and then how he changed when he realized what happened to her.
Lucia’s brother played by Mariusz Kwiecien who usually plays comedy roles was very good playing a” villain”.
The ensembles and choruses were also outstanding as well as the smaller roles.
The quality of this DVD was exceptionally good.
I am very glad that I bought this production.

Beautifully done. The set was nice. The change in time period did not bother me. Anna Netrebko could have looked a bit less perfectly made up during her mad scene. The sound was nice. The video imaging was solid.

Anna Netrebko's performance of the "Mad Scene" was the best of a few that I have seen performed, both in terms of acting and singing. Also, the orchestration of the Mad Scene includes use of the glass harmonica as called for in the original score to great effect. The sextet was staged thoughtfully and sung perfectly.

4.0 out of 5 stars All's Well that Ends Well despite flawed audio
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2015

I have listened to Lucia many times over the years (I have three versions on CD) and attended many performances. It is in my top five list. I have always thought that the opening chorus in Lucia is one of the greatest of all opera beginnings. It starts the opera out with a bang and is full of energy that sucks you in to the action immediately. In this Blu-ray, at least using PCM stereo (I do not have surround), the opening was a disaster. The normally superb Met chorus sounded weak and out of sync, and Michael Myers (Normanno) sounded awful. Whether this was how it sounded in the opera house I cannot say, because the PCM stereo during act 1 was technically flawed. The orchestra sounded wonderful, but the singers sounded like they were in a cave, or at a great distance. Almost like listening to the old Met Radio Broadcasts over a cheap transistor radio. I listened multiple times, including over headphones and it seems to be a case of misplaced or malfunctioning mikes. As Enrico moved around the stage the sound quality changed. Whenever he approached the front of the stage the sound improved dramatically, perhaps because the orchestra mikes picked him up. Whatever the reason, the audio quality ruined the first act. It was so bad I returned the disc and got a replacement but it was the same. (I also emailed Deutsche Grammophon, but they have not seen fit to respond). The sound was, however, amazingly detailed when it came to extraneous noise. Every stage footstep, swishing of a dress or crumpling of a letter was easily audible, as was a lot of coughing from the audience. One star for the first act because of the audio.
Fortunately the sound improved after the first act. I don't think it is as good as it should be, but it was passable.
The remainder of the opera was excellent, particularly Act 3. The Mad Scene and the finale were spectacular. Netrebko does not have Sutherland's voice, but so what, who does? She is a marvelous singing actress and her performance was very moving. Ildar Abdrazakov sang Raimondo beautifully and with passion. Mariusz Kwiecien was marvelous as Enrico. He succeeded in making me hate him. Piotr Beczala sang fabulously as Edgardo. His acting leaves a bit to be desired, consisting of the stock expressions and stage movements they teach in tenor school. All things considered, a 4 1/2 star performance by the leads.
The production itself is mostly excellent, with one glaring exception. The sets were excellent, particularly for the mad scene, as were the costumes. I did not mind the period change. The use of the phantom in several scenes was well done. Having Lucia appear as a phantom in the finale worked for me. The conclusion, as Lucia's ghost kisses the dead Edgardo, was very poignant.
The glaring exception was the apparent decision by the director to treat the sextet (one of the greatest dramatic ensembles in all of opera) in a comic manner. First, as the scene is unfolding we have the chorus all tilting their heads in unison in a comic attempt to overhear the conversation between Enrico and Arturo. We then have the distraction of the photographer running around the stage arranging the group photo during the entire sextet. Then, just in case we haven't realized how clever the director is yet, we get an exclamation point: he has the photographer light the flash as the final note is dying away. Why do opera directors have to engage in these banalities? (see for example, Isolde's brain hemorrhage courtesy of Chereau, or McVicar dressing Papagena as trailer trash.) Are they having a contest to see who can do the dumbest thing?
In the end, despite the inexcusably horrible audio in act 1 and the visual ruining of the sextet by the director, there are so many wonderful things about this Blu-ray that, despite myself, I gave it 3.75 stars, rounding up to 4. Worth having in your collection for the last act alone, although they really should reduce the price because of the act one audio issue.

Si tratta della registrazione dello spettacolo andato in scena al Metropolitan di New York nel 2009 con la regia di Mary Zimmerman e poi ripreso, con diversi cast, nella stagione scaligera del 2013-14 e in quella successiva.
Dunque parliamo subito della regia (e connesse scene e costumi) che trasporta in pieno ‘800 una vicenda ambientata da Cammarano circa trecento anni prima: di per se la scelta non appare stonata (salvo per quanto riguarda alcuni riferimenti storici contenuti nel libretto, ad esempio quando si parla del castello, piuttosto che dell’ascesa al soglio di Maria, etc.), anche perché alcune scene ci riportano in pieno clima romantico, quali la comparsa del fantasma femminile accanto alla fontana nel primo atto, fantasma che si ripresenta nel finale in veste di Lucia per attrarre a se l’addolorato Edgardo.
Rispetto a talune regie contemporanee che stravolgono interamente la vicenda e lasciano all’ascoltatore Il dubbio di quale spettacolo si stia rappresentando sulla scena e quali reconditi significati vi abbia colto il regista, mi sembra che l’aggiornamento temporale sia affatto accettabile e renda anche più veritiera una vicenda decisamente umana e ancora attuale: si tratta pur sempre di un sopruso perpetrato in ambito familiare a danno di una giovane ragazza che vorrebbe unicamente conseguire la propria felicità.
Ovviamente una trasposizione di tal genere può riuscire ed essere credibile sulla scena solo se la protagonista, spogliatasi dei panni di una dama medievale, si muove e si comporta anche psicologicamente come una signora borghese di età vittoriana, legata ai pregiudizi del tempo cui vorrebbe sottrarsi, ma ai quali deve comunque sottostare, pena la totale riprovazione della società di cui fa parte integrante; salvo ribellarsi nel suo intimo, cercare in tutti i modi di sfuggire al destino quasi obbligato, infine compiere il gesto estremo.
Da questo punto di vista Anna Netrebko è interprete superlativa, vera e propria attrice anche nella scelta delle pause, che sa alternare i momenti felici a quelli drammatici, mettendo sempre una particolare cura nelle movenze del corpo e nelle espressioni del volto e trasferendo all’ascoltatore la sensazione di vivere in prima persona il dramma rappresentato; ove a ciò si aggiunga la prestazione vocale della Netrebko in splendida forma, nella tenuta dei fiati come nei sovracuti, a proprio agio nei momenti di agilità e nei passi più impervi della partitura, si ottiene una delle migliori e più credibili Lucie nella storia del disco.
Accanto alla protagonista, peraltro su un gradino inferiore sia vocalmente che dal punto di vista scenico, figurano Piotr Beczala e Mariusz Kwiecien, rispettivamente Edgardo ed Enrico: il primo ha intonazione corretta e timbro pastoso che, in ambiente ottocentesco, gli consentono in effetti di tratteggiare un personaggio elegante ed innamorato (nei panni di un Lord gli mancherebbe l’accento eroico); Kwiecien ha voce possente ed atteggiamento determinato, gli mancano i colori e le rotondità dei grandi baritoni italiani; emerge bene, sia vocalmente che scenicamente, Ildar Abdrazakov, nei panni di Raimondo, mentre deficitano i comprimari.
Infine resta da evidenziare l’eccellente direzione di Marco Armiliato - direttore ingiustamente sottovalutato a casa nostra a differenza del grande affetto attribuitogli dai pubblici sia di matrice anglosassone che austro/tedesca - il quale, a mio parere, ammette pochi rivali nel repertorio romantico da Bellini al Verdi maturo e che, anche in questa occasione, riesce ad esprimere in modo convincente il sentimento e il dramma contenuti nel capolavoro donizettiano, assecondando appieno le intenzioni registiche con una direzione certo meno reboante che in altre edizioni, bensì più intimistica e sensibile alle sfumature psicologiche contenute nella vicenda.

This is an outstanding performance. Recorded live from the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 2009. The cast (with one small exception) is stellar. Anna Netrebko gives a "tour de force" performance as Lucia. Her 3rd Act mad scene is probably only exceeded vocally by Lily Pons, or perhaps Maria Callas. Michaela Martens is very good as Lucia's companion, Alisa. Piotr Beczala plays Edgardo (Lucia's doomed lover) as the classic tenor. Marius Kwiecien is Enrico, the jealous brother of Lucia. Michael Myers as Normanno, Colin Lee as Arturo, and Ildar Abdrazakov as Raimondo round out the cast. The conductor is Marco Armiliato.

I liked all the cast except for Myers. He is weak and I would have thought that the Met could have found a better singer for this relatively small role. Also, Kwiecien has a difficult start, with forced notes and a decided wobble during his first aria, but after that he settles down and is very good for the rest of the show. The stars, of course are Netrebko and Beczala. She is just wonderful. She looks the part, acts extremely well, and has the vocal gymnastics required of her throughout. The mad scene especially is very good. I really liked the chorus at this point because their reaction to her is SO real - they really do give the impression they are afraid of her. Whoever coached them deserves kudos. Finally I liked Beczala as Edgardo. His "fra poco a me recovero" is very good. I also liked his acting.

The set designer did a very good job of putting us in the glens of Scotland, and then inside the castle. Also the costumes and lighting deserve credit.

Finally, the orchestra was well led by Armiliato, and deserved the ovation it received at the end.

All in all, highly recommended.

Es evidente que adoro a la Netrebko, por lo que ya iba predipuesto a que me gustara esta Lucia, pero una vez que la he visto puedo decir que su interpretacion eclipsa a Sutherland, Callas y Caballe. Pero es que el resto del cast estan tambien estupendos, especialnemente el Edgardo de Piotr Beczala, que sustituia a Rolando Villazon, y el Enrico de Mariusz Kwiecien. La version es completa, incluyendo el duetto inicial el Acto III. La produccion escenica muy buena y fiel al libretto, ambientada en la Escocia del S. XIX. Preciosa la escena de la foto del sexteto Che mi frena in tal momento. Absolutamente recomendable
