Title: Wonderful singers and music, poor setting and costumes
Review: I love zarzuela and this is one of my favourites and although everyone is in place (well, Domingo could have played the tenor role, only Kraus sang it better), the setting is very simple and the costumes don't represent the real clothes Spanish people used to wear during those days. I must also point out that a lot of dialogue's been cut.But all these things don't matter; the music is simply GREAT. The "Mazurka de las Sombrillas" is one of the best things ever written and most of the arias could rival with the ones written by Puccini or Verdi.I totally recommend this DVD and I really hope that in the future some other zarzuelas sang by people like these can be released on this format.
