La Traviata (Fleming e.a.) (2011)

La Traviata wordt in januari 2012 opgevoerd door de Nationale Reisopera. "Verdi's La Traviata is given a sterling performance by a memorable cast in a production from the Royal Opera House recorded June 27 and 30, 2009. Sensible designs by Bob Crowley and direction Richard Eyre stick to the tried and true no insults to the audience here as happens so often today in many opera productions. Renée Fleming still manages the coloratura of act one admirably, and is a superb actress. Thomas Hampson is a commanding Germont, and Joseph Calleja impresses as Alfredo although his fast vibrato is not to my taste I much prefer Rollando Villazón in the 2006 performance. The chorus is superb, and conductor Pappanpo keeps things moving nicely." (Classical Review)
