Dismal View of a Great Performance
PostedAugust 2, 2009
BobSF
from San Francisco
I saw this encore presentation of "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" at the AMC theater complex in Emeryville, CA. The projected image was so dark that faces were sometimes hardly visible. When the characters were reading a letter or tossing a Valencia orange around, you wondered how they could see it. When the staging required singers to walk out on the narrow thrust stage, you feared they would stumble in the dark and fall into the audience, or the pit. Toward the end, the video image disappeared entirely, while the sound continued. So the visual experience was a disaster. The singing, however, was superb.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
