Synopsis
Part of a series of releases that are designed to bring some of the best opera performances to the screen, Deutsche Grammophon presents BETROTHAL IN A MONASTERY. Anna Netrebko stars amid an impressive cast of Russian opera singers, who render Prokofiev's four-act opera in style. Shot in 1998 in St. Petersburg, the Mariinsky Theatre plays host to the stars as they work their way through a moving performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars A love story with mistaken identity and a happy ending, 15 Dec 2007

By	P. Pieters (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Betrothal In A Monastery is a story in the line of Il Barbiere di Siviglia from Rossini and Le Nozze di Figaro from Mozart. The place of acting is also Seville in Spain. It is a funny love story with mistaken identity and a happy ending. The staging is well done. There are no showstopping aria's, but the music supports the play and the singing is well done. Prokofiev wrote this opera in the Soviet Union in the 1940's. Not really a happy time. From the actors only Anna Netrebko is known in the west, but all actors are looking there part. The four stars are because the music is in my opinion not of the same rating as a Mozart or a Verdi.
