Assur (Ildar Abdrazakov) kunye neSemiramide (Angela Meade) scheme phakathi kwamabhodlo e-styrofoam.UKen Howard / uMet Opera Njengokuba sidumisa kakhulu iMetropolitan Opera ngomsebenzi ogqwesileyo, njengedrama yomculo egqwesileyo ekwimveliso yabo yangoku yeWagner's IParsifal , kufuneka sivume ukuba kwindawo ephantsi, i-opera ihlala kwaye isweleke icula kamnandi. Kwaye ngalo mgangatho, kwimpelaveki edlulileyo ubonelele ngomxube ongonwabisiyo wobomi obonwabisayo kunye nowokuziphatha.
Uvuselelo olulindelwe kakhulu lwe-opera seria enkulu semiramide yawa phantsi ngoMvulo kuba iimvumi ubukhulu becala zazinazo izakhono zokuvuma zomntu ukuba zenze umculo kaRossini oqinisekileyo kakhulu.
Ukungasebenzi kakuhle lelona gama likhulu labalingisi, u-Ildar Abdrazakov, owaphelisa amanqaku amancinci kwaye wabhenela ekuphefumleni okunzima ukubonisa iithowuni eziphantsi eziveziweyo kwinxalenye ye-Assur. Ewe, wayejongeka ngokupheleleyo njengenxalenye yeqhinga laseAsiriya, kodwa kungekudala kwabonakala ukuba indlela aziphethe ngayo iya kuba sisiqwengana sokwanda kwesifuba sakhe.
La manenekazi mabini akhokelayo alawula into ngokuchaneka ngakumbi ekuculeni kwabo, ukuba ayibobungangamsha obuninzi bomculo. Njengendlovukazi yaseLady Macbeth-ish uSemiramide, u-soprano u-Angela Meade wayisusa i-coloratura ngomatshini ofana nokusebenza kunye nesandi seglasi esingathandekiyo.
Njengenkosana eyimfihlakalo u-Arsace okhethwe ngu-Semiramide njengendoda yakhe kunye neqabane lakhe (umonakalisi!) Uyaqonda ukuba lo mfana ngunyana wakhe olahlekileyo kudala, u-Elizabeth DeShong wakhupha iiroulades ngokungakhathali, nangona indawo emnandi ye-mezzo-soprano yakhe ibonakala ngathi iyaxoka iphezulu kakhulu kunomculo ongaphantsi komhlaba we-tessitura.
Umlinganiswa weNkosana u-Idreno unokubizwa ngokuba bubudlelwane obungenantlonelo kunye nesiqwenga sale opera, ebonisa kabini ukubopha ii-arias ezihombisayo. UTenor Javier Camarena ubonise ukucula ngokuhlwa ngokutyibilikayo kwezi ziqwenga zomeleleyo, nangona izikali ezingapheliyo kunye neeroulades zindenze ndalangazelela ibinzana legato elilula ukuqaqambisa ithoni yakhe yobusi.
Nokuba kukho iimvumi ezintle, nangona kunjalo, oku semiramide isenokuba fizzled ngenxa yokuqhuba kuka-Maurizio Benini kunye nemveliso kaJohn Copley's gaudy ekhempini. Kumbono womlawuli otshisayo, amaBhabheli amandulo ayebamba inkundla phakathi kwemithambo eyaphukileyo yamatye e-styrofoam kwaye ukumkanikazi okhohlisayo wayebizwa njengoBarbara Bush kwiwigi ka-Bernadette Peters.
Xa kuthelekiswa, imveliso evunyiweyo yomhla kunye nomda womda we-thread uFranco Zeffirelli IBohemian , Ubone ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku, ubuncinci uziva unyanisekile. Ngcono nangakumbi, yayiyila ngokungafaniyo ukubhangiswa kweenkwenkwezi kukaMichael Fabiano kunye noSonya Yoncheva njengamaBohemiya awela iinkwenkwezi ePuccini.
Iimpawu zabo ezintle bezincedisana, ukucula kwakhe bekujolise ngakumbi kwaye kungqalile kwaye kuye kubukeka ngakumbi kwaye kunemfesane. Kwangokunjalo, ngelixa u-Yoncheva egxininisa ubumnandi nothando olungathandabuzekiyo ekubonakaliseni kwakhe u-Mimi, uFabiano wenza uRodolfo uhlobo oluthile lwe-hipster yenkulungwane ye-19, yokuzingca nokungathembeki.
Zombini ezi mveliso ziya kubonakala kamva ngeli xesha lonyaka kwiMet's Live kwi-HD uthotho. Inkqubo ye- IBohemia ngokuqinisekileyo iya kufaneleka ukuba iphinde ijongwe, kodwa i semiramide Ngokudabukisayo, izakubonakala intyumpantyumpeka kakhulu ecaleni konyaka ophelileyo wokuqhushumba le-opera kwi-Opera State Opera.
