Adriana Lecouvreur (2010): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2010, Adriana Lecouvreur is a música film directed by David McVicar, running about 150 minutes. “Kaufmann and Gheorghiu Star in a Verismo Classic” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Mark Elder leads the orchestra and chorus in a lavish performance . . . She certainly has the temperament to play Adriana, who can present herself as humble and sweet but, in a scene where she takes the stage, is nothing if not intense . . . this recording provides a reminder of how secure and uniquely attractive her singing can be. Her soprano glides effortlessly, its top still silvery, over the oft-excerpted arias "Io son l'umile ancella" and "Poveri fiori." There's a real core even in much of her soft singing, and the recording flatters her lower register. As Maurizio, Jonas Kaufmann has the ideal chiaroscuro sound to portray both poet and warrior. It's great to hear his robust tenor at full force . . . Olga Borodina makes for an imperious princess . . . Alessandro Corbelli employs luster and dignity.

Who’s in it. Adriana Lecouvreur stars Jonas Kaufmann as Maurizio, Angela Gheorghiu as Adriana Lecouvreur, Olga Borodina as Princesse de Bouillon and Alessandro Corbelli as Michonnet, among others.
