"Verdi - Stiffelio / Downes, Carreras, Malfitano, Royal Opera Covent Garden" Overview

STIFFELIO (VERDI) - DVD Movie

"Verdi - Stiffelio / Downes, Carreras, Malfitano, Royal Opera Covent Garden" Specifications

Stiffelio shows Giuseppe Verdi on the brink of greatness (his next opera would be Rigoletto) but falling short of the full recognition he deserves. The opera is not problem-free, but it is, musically and dramatically, better than its reputation, and only recently has it begun to be fully appreciated. This fine production has helped, as has a Metropolitan Opera telecast with Placido Domingo in the title role. In this 1993 Covent Garden production, the setting was shifted from Europe to America, where a duel with sabers seems slightly out of place.

José Carreras generates intense emotion as a minister whose wife (Catherine Malfitano) has been unfaithful. "Forgiveness is easy," he reflects, "for a heart that has not been wounded." Can he fulfill his Christian duty and forgive her? The conflict of instinct and principle is prime operatic material. But in 19th- century Italy, the censors and the public were not ready for an opera about a married clergyman. --Joe McLellan
