### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Five Stars, Not Three
  

*by M***W on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2008*

I hadn't planned to write an exhaustive review (or any at all) of this DVD, but I just couldn't let the one previous assessment, Giordano Bruno's three-star rating, stand alone.  Actually, it's surprising that Mr. Bruno gave such a relatively low score, given his generally positive written comments.Let me say, then, that I think this is an excellent filmed production of Purcell's miniature masterpiece.  The director, Peter Maniura, manages to be at once traditional and imaginative in setting this Virgilian tragic love story of ancient Carthage within the confines of the eighteenth-century Hampton Court House.  To liven this elegant, stately background, Maniura makes particularly good use of fire as a persistent motif, whether in the blazing torches celebrating the lovers' public acknowledgement of their mutual passion, or the fiery engulfment of the exterior of the house to indicate both the end of the brief affair and the accompanying fall of Carthage, or the final conflagration of the funeral pyre which consumes the body of the tragic queen who has died of thwarted love.  The two principals, Maria Ewing and Karl Daymond, are both attractive and convincingly wrapped up in one another's longing gazes, so as to make their tempestuous passion compelling.  Maniura even manages to make the Sorceress and her cackling demonic followers, so oddly (and potentially comically) discordant with Virgil's classical narrative, into genuinely fearsome and formidable figures.  All this, plus a stirring rendition of Purcell's lovely score, makes for an entrancing and moving production which more than makes up, Mr. Bruno notwithstanding, for the lack of dancing and liner notes.

    Mediocre
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2012*

I continue to say there is no baroque movie good enough to watch. The best operas start with Mozart. Like other Baroque operas this is boring beyond belief.

    Purcell way to go!
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2013*

I teach high school music history to non-music students.  We were studying early Baroque Operas specifically arias and recititives and I felt that my students needed to be able to put the music into context of what the libretto of the opera was and I felt that showing them the opera would better relate the music to them.  Well it worked the students got into the libretto and the music.  There were some scenes that were a little risque but I just fast forward it.  It was a good teaching moment to remind the students that during the baroque period, art and life were decadent.
