Product description

Giuseppe Verdi’s late opera Don Carlo delivers all the big topics while Ferdinand Wögerbauer’s ultra-simple décor provides a spartan counterpoint to the dramatic action.

This is a review of Don Carlo with Jonas Kaufmann, Anja Herterios and Thomas Hampson from the 2013 Salzburg Festival. I thought this was marvellous, superb singing, first class acting – however, I must qualify this by saying that I have no musical education and so my enthusiastic appreciation of this version of Don Carlo should not carry as much weight perhaps as a review by someone who knows their oats. Pace John Cleese, I may not know much about opera but I know what I like. And I liked this for sure. The opera has added poignancy for me because I have lived in Spain for forty years and in fact can see El Escorial thirty kilometres away across the plain from where I live. For readers who may not be familiar with the plot, the opera tells the story of how the heir to the Spanish throne is enamoured of his stepmother, giving rise to the Spanish expression muta padre, which may be loosely translated as how unlike the home life of our own dear queen.

What a performance! Brilliantly sung and well staged - for a change. This production makes crystal clear the complex plot. My only caveat is with the ending of the opera itself and that’s Verdi’s problem not this production. Still, until the bizarre Deus ex machina it’s very impressive indeed. Music drama at its finest with a production that surely should please almost everyone! But of course it won’t. I watched it on video projection and the presentation couldn’t have been better. It allowed us both the full spectacle of the giant stage and appropriate closeups without the irritating visual tricks so typical of the Met productions and thankfully minus the appalling beteen the acts interview the American audiences seem to love. Highly recommended for opera fans!

First class performance!

I've only managed to watch up to the end of the auto-da-fe scene but what a performance. The cast are all in excellent voice and the bonus is having Pappano as conductor with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The production is unfussy but well thought out and the costumes are a joy. I was impressed by the retention of the usual music cuts in the score. This do doubt was down to Pappano. Thomas Hampson has not been one of my favourite baritones but he excels in this performance. Matti Salminen gives a good rendition of Phillip, although I still have to watch his big scene in Act IV.
Of all the Don Carlo's (5 act Italian versions) on DVD, this one has to be at the top of the list on all accounts.
The BluRay sound is perfect and the picture quality pin sharp on the UHD TV.
Would highly recommend this to all Verdi enthusiasts.

This is a stunning performance from the Salzburg Festival. It features a massive stage and sumptuous production that is superb: it's much better than the one that has been on in Covent Garden. I'm no expert but the performances seem excellent to me. Jonas Kaufmann is flavour of the month and it's easy to see why. Unlike most over-weight tenors he is trim, handsome and has a terrific voice. The opera itself is utterly wonderful.

excellent production, staged bu peter stein. the kaufman-hampson duo, brilliant in their performances complementing and completing each other's part. it would be unfair not to mention the performances of anja harteros and eric halfvarson as elisabetta and the grand inquisitor respectively, katerina semenchuk and matti salminen as eboli and king philip and of course pappano! have enjoyed watching and listening immensely.
