The atmosphere was quite contrary to Paris reproduction and something were much more delicate. I'm no sure whether you agree or not...or are you referring to the latest one in Bastille? (which is, I must say, nothing to do with the fantastic original by Strehler back to 70s any more.) <br /><br />La Traviata in Garnier was splendidly filmed in HD and is now in the catalogue of Telmondis. I completely agree with you and was also very impressed with the parallelism with the old Chéreau production of Lulu in the same place. I have no idea whether it will be out as DVD/Blu-ray (I asked Ms. Schäfer / Maestro Cambreling and their replies were rather prospective that time, but years have passed since then...). It's no good to watch in such low quality. m. f.noreply@blogger.com
