Kurt Weill - The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny
Released: March 9, 1998
Catalog Num: DVD
Amazon.com
This 1998 Salzburg Festival production of The Rise and Fall of the City of
Mahagonny does a difficult work proud, as Peter Zadek's staging makes the case
for Kurt Weill's (and librettist-lyricist Bertolt Brecht's) epic dissection of
consumerism and avarice as one of the most gripping 20th century operas.
Soprano Catherine Malfitano, always a riveting singing actress, adds another
memorable portrayal with her skillful portrait of Jenny, the whore with the
heart of gold. Tenor Jerry Hadley embodies the role of our hero, Jimmy,
admirably, and in a strong supporting cast, Gwyneth Jones and
Roy Cornelius Smith are particularly
outstanding. Conductor Dennis Russell Davies leads the Radio Symphony
Orchestra Vienna to new musical heights, while the designers and technicians
make this a visually accomplished Mahagonny. Warning: there's ample female
nudity in the brothel scene (though entirely in keeping with Weill and
Brecht's conception). --Kevin Filipski |
