Amadeus

Nel 1823 al manicomio di Vienna Antonio Salieri, acclamato musicista di Corte, confessa un tremendo segreto: ha consumato la vita nel tentativo di distruggere Mozart, volgare e libertino, indegno, secondo lui, dei doni divini. Sotto il segno del più scatenato gusto del gioco, è una riflessione sul contrasto tra genio e mediocrità e sull'invidia. Scritto dall'inglese Peter Shaffer, da una sua pièce (1979). Omaggio a Praga. Splendide immagini, due grandi interpreti. 8 Oscar: film, regia, sceneggiatura, attore, costumi, suono, trucco, scenografia. Non tenendo conto che, in fondo, è un Mozart visto da Salieri i molti mozartiani di stretta osservanza hanno eccepito sulla fedeltà storica, specialmente sulle libertà prese per la genesi del Requiem, ma avrebbero da lamentarsi di più i pochi ammiratori di Salieri. Al Festival di Berlino 2002 fu presentata una edizione restaurata (Director's Cut) e allungata di oltre 20´.

Rigoletto

Un Rigoletto indimenticabile, quello che va in scena al Metropolitan nel novembre 1977. Nel ruolo del titolo spicca uno dei protagonisti di quegli anni al teatro di New York: Cornell MacNeil, capace di donare al personaggio del buffone una tinta umanissima, ma senza trascurarne il lato malvagio. Placido Domingo è un Duca strepitoso, per mezzi vocali e travolgente carica vitale; Ileana Cotrubas una Gilda perfetta, fragile e implorante. Di alto livello anche il resto del cast, nel quale spiccano il possente Monterone di John Cheek e l'avvenente Maddalena di Isola Jones. La direzione di James Levine si distingue per un impressionante, serratissimo ritmo drammatico.

Turandot

Lo storico, sfarzoso allestimentodi Franco Zeffirelli, le grandi voci di Eva Marton e Placido Domingo fanno di questa "Turandot", andata in scena al Metropolitan nel 1987, uno degli spettacoli di riferimento del grande teatro newyorkese. Sul podio James Levine conduce una lettura serratissima, di incalzante intensità drammatica; Eva Marton si confronta da par suo con la vocalità vertiginosa della protagonista; Leona Mitchell dà vita a una Liù delicata e trepidante. Domingo coglie un memorabile trionfo, mandando il pubblico in delirio con un'interpretazione indimenticabile di "Nessun dorma".
