The theatricality of this life performance of Manon on DVD is amazing. Paterson’s idea to update Manon into the 50s is the creation of a genius with so many metaphors and symbolism. Like many sixteen-year-old girls, Manon dreams of becoming a movie star for fame, prosperity and the “good” life. The presence of cameras on stage from the beginning gives a physical glimpse of her dreams. And every bobby soxer dreams of the day she’ll put on sheer hosiery with the sexy seam in the back. The black magic-marker line Manon inscribes on the back of her nude sexy leg is a raw manifestation of her subconscious desire that Paterson captures to

perfection.
What about the music? After all, Manon is an opera. Personally, Manon is not one of my favorite operas. The first two acts, musically speaking, are rather tedious and tenuous. The heavy dramatic singing picks up later and if it’s well sung, it makes Manon a heavyweight and a tearjerker. Netrebko’s Manon, with the help of Paterson’s intelligent direction,
projects the character’s flaws, immaturity and shallowness with honesty that makes you feel sorry for her. And her singing? Netrebko’s in total command with unbelievable either playful or dramatic color. And her death scene in the end is destined for prosperity. Netrebko not only sings and acts well but she even dies better!
Villazon is in excellent form with secure top but he appears to be a liitle cautious with the size of his sound. He and Netrebko make the “dream team” one more time, as this production shows; and this DVD is highly recommended. The sound of the orchestra is underpowered at times, maybe due to a little sluggishness from the podium.

Anna Netrebko creates another magical performance as Manon in this updated production from Berlin. Originally performed in Los Angeles, the production then travelled to Berlin in 2007.
Anna Netrebko adds Manon to a list of amazing roles she has created on stage. Set in 1950’s Paris, Manon is cast as a glamourous actress. Her coloratura is as beautiful as she is in a range of gorgeous period gowns. At one point she is pole dancing in a gold lame gown while singing some beautiful notes. Simply astonishing!!
Rolando Villazon is again superb in the role of the student Des Grieux. His beautiful sound serves Massenet’s music very well.
You will regret not getting this DVD. It does not get any better than this. This simply is a must have DVD for anyone who collects opera on DVD.
