Editorial Review:

Description:
Dame Felicity Lott stars in a rollicking performance of Offenbach's operetta "La Grande Duchesse de Gerolstein." Features the same cast as the studio recording released on CD in October 2005. The stage production was filmed in December 2004 at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. The result is a kaleidoscope of artistry and comedy that should not be missed! This production goes back to the original version which had been adjusted and censored after it's premiere at the Theatre des Varietes in 1867.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - An Adequate Grande Duchesse
Because I had enjoyed La Belle Helene so much and because I had the French CD version of Duchesse (with Crespin) I felt this had to be a winner. Many years ago I saw an English language version; surprisingly I found I enjoyed it immensely even though French operetta like its German and Austrian equivalent don't travel well when translated, Well, the version under consideration didn't travel well to this auditor. Aside from the production which looked "low rent", Pelly's direction was of the "wink ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kudos to Laurent Pelly!!!
I think the great success of this production is owed to the stage direction of Laurent Pelly and the choreography of Laura Scozzi as much as the great performances of the principal players. I could imagine how tedious this light-hearted, three act farce could have been in the wrong hands. But, it was in the best hands!

The slapstick story moves right along with scene after scene of hilarious dance numbers and absurd costumes and scenery. Felicity Lott was supremely funny in the title ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Highly amusing, don't miss it!
I agree with the other reviewers here who are delighted by the hilariously nuanced performance of Dame Felicity Lott. Although there are a number of operas in which experienced (read `middle-aged') female singers can appear, for example The Merry Widow, there are few where `a certain age' is an absolute requirement and deportment a true asset. La Grande-Duchesse is one such work where the star needs to be not only a great singer but also a talented actress in that most difficult of all fields, comedy. ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - a tad too buffo
Most of the reviewers here find this one a great first opera to show friends. It is a little over the top with clownishness; but you know, so was I Love Lucy, or The Honeymooners. And that, perhaps is what most find highly entertaining or amusing, and thus it becomes a nice escape from drudgery. Also, I have been so thrilled and surprised by the likes of Donizetti, Bellini, Rossini, and some more rare composers, that this only seems flippant by comparison. It does contain good music and great vocals; ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An absolute delight!
An outstanding production of a deligthful opera-bouffe. I showed it to a bunch of opera fans and everybody raved about it. Fabulous entertainment for very little cost! Don't miss it!
