- La Traviata
I'm super bias on this make of La Traviata. It's the modern world of opera; besides, it's my favorite opera. I've seen the stage La Traviata over 15 times in 7 different states, and no matter where I see it, I just can't get enough. Anna and Rolando are just extraordinary. Who needs props when you have two of the greatest performers, and their voices can't be compared to any other in this world. If you like modern and are willing to take a chance on a totally different presentation of opera, I would highly recommend this DVD. LOVE IT!! LOVE IT!!!! The BEST!!!

- Muy buena elección
Desde que escuche a Anna y a Rolando Villazón en Duets, me gustó la potencia de la voz de esta joven y guapa mujer. Muy rica en tonalidades, buenos logros en su incipiente trabajo como cantante de Opera y en esta producción muy moderna, muy ágil y ligera. Vale la pena ver toda la obra, el montaje tan simple y a la vez tan abierto al espacio donde se juega con la mente del espectador. Bravo por Anna, Villazón en búsqueda de su yo y alejándose de su Alter Ego Placido Domingo. Buen tipo, muy profesional, sensible y todavía nada de divo. Pareja sensual que vale la pena escuchar y ver...

- Comparisons are always unfair..............
....but at times they can't be avoided. Every new star evokes memories of the past...Anna Netrebko has frequently been compared to Maria Callas, and I will go ahead and provoke the anger of some by stating up front that Anna is better than Callas was the best day she ever saw. Now, I admit that, early in her career, she saw some good days; she had Style, and a fabulous voice. But, defective technique, and bad casting decisions, washed her up well before the age Anna is now. OK. Now I shall approach blasphemy...in Anna's heavier passages, I heard the merest hint of Rosa Ponselle. Anna is no Rosa. God forbid. Rosa was the greatest singer who ever lived. [Flagstad? Different genre]. She did Violetta later in her career; wonderful, naturally, but somehow "sick" and "vulnerable" are not words I ... Read More

- Great singing and acting almost compensates for minimalist production.
Unlike other reviewers, I was put off by the minimalist, sadistic, Euro-trash production. That said, the singing and acting on the part of all three principals is fantastic! So, buy for the music, the acting, and the stars, but be prepared for minimalist sets and unmotivated directorial bits along the way.

- If You are not into Opera, this is where you start
Enjoy the music, enjoy the performance, no 19th century opera clishes here, just an amazing performance of Verdi's La Traviata.

Violeta as it was meant to be, this was the first time i saw Anna Netrebko I'm a big fan now, Rolando Villazon i'ts also an amazing tenor, and the chemistry between both lead performers it's incredible.

I also love the minimalistic stage with the giant clock a la Metropolis who resembles the time left to Violeta, gives it a contemporary look and contrast in a very interesting way, the mysterious character who represents the illness of Violeta it's also a semiotic value to this performance.

Be very open minded to this version, and you'll find yourself a gem with this opera.
