Opéra de Nice, Barbier de Séville.
Si je improvise critique artistique, je dirais : chanteurs et orchestre au top, mise en scène oscillant entre de bonnes idées et du mauvais goût qui nuit au génie de Rossini.
Exemple de fautes de goût (selon moi)
- le style rave party en décalage total avec le texte
- la femme dont le seul rôle est de changer de tenue (sans chanter) du début à la fin
- les fonds d'œil en violet et les effets stroboscopiques.

I am seeking general recommendations for my next opera. I have seen Don Pasquale (1932), L'Elisir d'Amore (1949), Lucia Di Lamermoor (1939), Il Barbiere Di Siviglia (1929/30), and La Sonambula (1952). I'm thinking of Le Nozze di Figaro (1944 or 1949), but I'm not sure. I saw it, (via another video) but it was in English and a modern, amateur production. I was not impressed,but I am willing to give it a chance with a professional production. I like light-hearted operas, comedy (particularly wit and wordplay), relationships, the upperclass, the supernatural, etc. I don't mind some realism, but I'm not one for extreme violence, serious depictions of poverty, loud, dramatic singing, discordant melodies, and so on. I might try La Boheme (1917 or 1948)) or Rigoletto (1915-18 or 1927-30), , since they are mostly just sad from what I know. But I would love to find more works by Donizetti, Rossini, Bellini, and some by Pacini, Paisiello, Cimarosa, and other similar composers. I'm also interested in those performed in English, whether translations or written that way. I know Purcell wrote some but am not very familiar with English opera as a whole. The problem with all of the above is that I don't know how many of these were recorded in full prior to the 1960's. I will definitely watch Massenet's Werther and Manon, but I want to hold off on them a little longer, since Werther (1948) is the only other full opera with Schipa in it, (Don Pasquale is the first) and Manon (1939) is the last big fragment of an opera with him in it (Act II/I will need to supplement with either 1929 or 1954, if I can find the latter). Can anyone suggest anything that might be of interest?

I posted the following on Reddit on 21 April, but there were problems with Akkoma then, so I couldn't share it here and postponed doing so on Friendica.
"Tonight, I listened to the 1929-30 (two dates are given in two different videos) Il Barbiere Di Siviglia with Riccardo Stracciari, Mercedes Capsir, Dino Borgioli, Salvatore Baccaloni, and Vincenzo Bettoni.
youtube.com/watch?v=LbuDjd65Ay…
I was quite familiar with Borgioli, though I hadn't heard him in a full opera prior to this. I heard and enjoyed Baccaloni in Don Pasquale and L'Elisir d'Amore, and was pleasantly surprised to find him here. I heard a few recordings of Stracciari, so he was not wholely unknown to me, but the others were new. Since I am still learning Italian, I read the English libretto before each part so that I could follow the plot.
opera-arias.com/rossini/il-bar…
I enjoyed the story and found it to be quite humorous. The singing and acting were also good. That said, I read that the role of Rosina was originally written for a contralto. I would have loved to have heard that. Did any ever sing it? Also, I know there is a different opera with the same name by Paisiello. I found several modern recordings of it, but do any older ones exist? Does anyone know the other full opera that Borgioli recorded? Its name escapes me at the moment.
Finally, if anyone here is a Wikipedia editor, they missed two recordings, this one and the one from 1918 with Fernando de Lucia.

Due to some wonderful replies, I had my question answered, as well as receiving a new recommendation for another version of this opera, this time with Cesare Valletti, famous student of Tito Schipa! He appears in several complete works in my list (pinned on my Blob.cat profile and on my Dreamwidth page).

Dino Borgioli was also in Rigoletto, recorded around the same time (video says 1927-30).
