Editorial Review: Description: Daniella Dessì and Delores Ziegler lead the cast in Mozart's brilliant and witty opera as the two women whose faithfulness in the face of romantic love is ruthlessly tested in Da Ponte's comic tale. Mozart lavishes some of the finest music ever written on the unfolding story of the two sisters' chaotic and fickle love affairs with their two Italian army officers. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - To what purpose?In several of the scenes in Act Two, the conductor Muti, larger than life, is superimposed upon the stage action, in some cases completely blocking out the singers. I found this disconcerting, particularly distracting as the opera is ending. None of the reviewers have mentioned this; if I had known, I should never have purchased this DVD version of the opera. I have never seen such disrespect for the performers, nor such disregard for viewers like me who want to watch the performance, not the ...

I strongly agree with the positive reviews. Not only is it a very good production but it is at bargain cost! Rating:  - Beautiful but old-fashioned and a little dullThis is a good but rather old-fashioned performance. The singers are all excellent, both individually and as an ensemble, and Riccardo Muti's conducting is, as usual, well paced and exciting. The sets and costumes are simple but gorgeous. Overall the impression is of beauty, refinement, and dignity: the libretto's farcical aspects are certainly not ignored (how could they be?), but the characters are played as real people with (mostly) believeable thoughts and feelings, not as the cardboard cutouts ...
