O PRÍNCIPE IGOR, METLIVE, MARÇO DE 2014 / PRINCE IGOR, METLIVE, MARCH 2014. CRÍTICA DE FANÁTICO_UM NO BLOG DE ÓPERA E BALLET.
(review in english below)
A encenação e cenografia de Dmitri Tcherniakov é vistosa e a acção é transportada para o início do Sec XX. A parte mais original surge no final do primeiro acto, após a derrota militar de Igor. Aparece num campo com mais de 12000 papoilas, onde vive ou imagina o que se passou e o que poderá acontecer. A acção é apoiada por curtas imagens filmadas a preto e branco. Os actos seguintes são convencionais, com a cidade cercada, depois destruída e, finalmente, com o início da reconstrução.

A direcção musical foi da responsabilidade do maestro italiano Gianandrea Noseda.
O Coro da Metropolitan Opera esteve omnipresente e sempre muito bem.
O príncipe Igor foi o baixo-barítono russo Ildar Abdrazakov. Foi o melhor da tarde, aliando as suas excelentes qualidades vocais a uma interpretação cénica exemplar da personagem atormentada que o encenador lhe atribuiu.
Todos os restantes solistas ofereceram-nos interpretações de grande qualidade. Mikhail Petrenko, baixo russo, como príncipe Galitsky, irmão de Yaroslava, Sergey Semishkur, tenor russo, como Vladimir, filho de Igor,Oksana Dyka, soprano ucraniano (timbre algo metálico) como Yaroslava, mulher de Igor, Anita Rachvelishvili, mezzo georgiana, como Konchakovna, filha de Konchak e, Stefan Kocan, baixo eslovaco, como Konchak.

The staging and set design by Dmitri Tcherniakov are fine and the action is transported to the beginning of the twentieth century . The most unique part comes at the end of the first act, after the military defeat of Igor. He appears in a field with more than 12,000 poppies, where he lives or imagines what happened and what might happen. The action is supported by short film segments in black and white. The following acts are conventional, with the siege city destroyed and, finally, the beginning of reconstruction.

Prince Igor was the Russian bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov. He was the best singer of the performance, combining his excellent vocal qualities to a perfect artistic interpretation of the tormented character that the director assigned him .
