 Rating:  - Roschmann is perfect!I love this opera, and recordings of it are in short supply, so I actually bought this DVD (and the Glyndebourne one as well) just to hear some different renditions of this wonderful music. Both DVDs are good, but Roschmann's singing is a revelation! Anna Caterina Antonacci, on Glyndebourne's DVD, is a bit stretched by the tessitura of the part, but Roschmann has the coloratura, volume, and luminous shimmering tone that sets her apart from any other voice I have heard in the role. Her acting is ... Read More Rating:  - It is not the worse Eurotrash everThe music of Rodelinda is glorious. The singers are great, I particularly liked the dramatic, almost... verista!!! :) , performance of Dorothea Roschmann and the delicate voice of Michael Chance. The interpretative (from the musical standpoint) aspects of this Rodelinda are great too. Yes Mr (or Mrs.)Didden (from Pennsilvania) it is Eurotrash at its best, I agree. But do not forget that it is a David Alden's production after all. However, it is not the worse attempt of this british stage director ... Read More Rating: - A great performanceI agree for the most part with the reviewer from Carlisle, PA. Having had a chance also to view and listen to the Glyndebourne DVD published by Kultur, I definitely prefer the Munich opera performance. Why? There are 2 main reasons: First and perhaps most importantly, the sound of the music on this DVD is very warm and much more brilliant than that of the Glyndebourne DVD. This may be due to different recording techniques and therefore be unrelated to the quality of the musicians. In fact, the singers ... Read More Rating: - a voice teacher and early music fanTHE TRULY MAGNIFICENT SINGING MUST BE THE FOCUS OF THIS PRODUCTION! 'Rodelinda' was first performed in the Haymarket Theater on February 13, 1725 (ten days before Handel's 40th birthday). The success was supposed to have been ecstatic, and his fame increased, He stood at the height of his art as an opera composer. David Alden has staged Handel's hymn to women's love in time of battle in a modern setting. He stages it somewhere in Italy in the 50's and turns it into a story ... Read More Rating: - More Eurotrash Porduction ValuesI watched my copy of this production after I had seen a pirated copy of the Glyndebourne production and listened to the new cd set conducted by Alan Curtis. I also have the older LP set on Westminster, very admirably sung, and the cd set of the older still production with Sutherland etc. which I am going to listen to, soon. If this dvd were the only game in town, then I would advise the prospective viewer to go for it. However, with the announced dvd version from Glyndebourne, one would be advised to ...
