Editorial Reviews

Toronto Star, John Terauds, May 29th, 2007
Emilio Sagi's brisk direction works seamlessly with his set and costumes. Serious fans dismiss light opera, but if you let yourself be swept up, this becomes a luscious roll in the melodramatic hay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zarzuela Fantastic!, June 8, 2007
By Steve Lovett (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been a fan of musical theater and operetta for a long time, so when I was in Spain, I was determined to see a "zarzuela", Spain's own particular light opera form. That performance of "Luisa Fernanda" was extremely thread-bare, yet still enjoyable. How thrilling was it to see this production in full blossom at the Madrid Opera house (and be able read the English subtitles.) And to have Placido Domingo head the cast, well that was just icing on the cake. I highly recommend this DVD for fans of operetta and light opera. If you've never seen a zarzuela, then you owe yourself this. In addition, as of this writing I was also able to purchase through Amazon.com the CD of this performance.Moreno Torroba: Luisa Fernanda [Spain]

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!, May 14, 2007
By El Critico (Aventura, Florida) - See all my reviews
I was thrilled to have a DVD of Luisa Fernanda. I saw it on the stage for the first time when I was 17 and since I have seen it a few times, in New York and Miami.
The singers and orchestra are all great. Purist may not like this rather minimalistic staging, but it was very handsome, all in black and white.
The DVD have subtitles in many languages including English and Spanish, and although since my young days I have known almost all the lyrics by heart (I have several recordings, LPs and CDs of it) in the second viewing I displayed the Spanish subtitles and had a great time singing along!
If you like zarzuela, you will enjoy this DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful singers and music, poor setting and costumes, August 11, 2007
I love zarzuela and this is one of my favourites and although everyone is in place (well, Domingo could have played the tenor role, only Kraus sang it better), the setting is very simple and the costumes don't represent the real clothes Spanish people used to wear during those days. I must also point out that a lot of dialogue's been cut.
But all these things don't matter; the music is simply GREAT. The "Mazurka de las Sombrillas" is one of the best things ever written and most of the arias could rival with the ones written by Puccini or Verdi.
I totally recommend this DVD and I really hope that in the future some other zarzuelas sang by people like these can be released on this format.

Sets and costumes are a little less than lavish, however they are the same as used in the LA Opera stage production
