As jy gedink het Die barbier van Sevilla is \u2019n opera wat nie enigsins meer camp kan raak nie, is jy verkeerd, s\u00ea Naud\u00e9 van der Merwe<\/span>.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As jy gedink het die barbier van Sevilla is \u2019n verspotte karakter wat jou terselfdertyd jou o\u00eb laat rol en ook laat grinnik van die lag, is jy korrek. As jy voor hierdie produksie gedink het dit is \u2019n opera wat nie enigsins meer camp kan raak nie, is jy verkeerd. <\/p>

In Kaapstad Opera se jongste weergawe van Rossini se immergewilde opera is elke liewe aksie, van elk van die etlike karakters, oordrewe tot op die punt van absurditeit, maar in die buitelug by Spier se amfiteater het dit so natuurlik gevoel soos die soel naglug met Sondag se openingsaand.<\/p>

Dis \u2019n hoogs vermaaklike \u201cromp\u201d, en die byna drie uur snel verby. Die buitelugatmosfeer laat die hele ding ook meer onopgesmuk voel. Weg is die verwagtinge van \u201chogere k\u00fbns\u201d. Die tannies rondom my het geskreeugil van die lag, asof hulle by \u2019n Casper de Vries-show in die 90\u2019s is. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Di\u00e9 produksie, met verbysterend doeltreffende regie deur Sylvaine Strike, het vroe\u00ebr vanjaar met twee verskillende rolverdelings \u2019n suksesvolle speelvak by Theatre on the Bay in Kampsbaai gehad. Vir die Woordfees is daar net een: William Berger is Figaro, Megan Kahts is ingevlieg uit Oostenryk om Rosina te speel, Dumisa Masoka is die graaf Almaviva, en Lonwabo Mose is Bartolo. Die koor van soldate en musikante is \u2019n komiese hoogtepunt. <\/p>

In die intieme spasie van Theatre on the Bay was dit \u00f3\u00f3k baie vermaaklik, maar dit voel amper asof dit \u2019n kleedrepetisie was vir wat hier by Spier gebeur. Hier kom die produksie heeltemal tot sy reg. Allegra Bernacchioni se stel werk treffend in die amfiteater, waar daar nou nie meer \u2019n dak is nie. Strike het ook die tegniese personeel in kostuum laat verskyn vir stel- en dekorverskuiwings, \u2019n briljante plan vir \u2019n amfiteater waar daar nie \u2019n gordyn is nie. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Die storielyn is amper nie belangrik nie, maar wel vinnig: Figaro, \u2019n barbier, gebruik truuks en leuens om twee verliefdes, Rosina en die graaf Almaviva, bymekaar te bring. Daar is \u2019n spul ander karakters wat die vloei van gebeure aanhelp of probeer kantel, en tussendeur sing hulle van die bekendste duette en arias uit die operakanon. <\/p>

Soos met die weergawe by Theatre on the Bay is dit hier weer met klavierbegeleiding. Jan Hugo verdien op sy eie \u2019n staande ovasie om daai partituur deur te draf. In die buitelug moet hierdie produksie uit die aard van die saak met klankversterking plaasvind, maar dit was nooit steurend nie. Alle mikrofone het gewerk en nooit het ek, soos dit maar soms by feesproduksies gaan, my hart vasgehou dat tegniese kinkels dreig om die ervaring te ontspoor nie. Aanvanklik het dit gelyk of die skerms wat die onderskrifte wys, dalk wou inkonk, maar selfs dit het gehou. <\/p>

Die sang was deurgaans goed. Dalk is dit my moderne ore \u2013 en die gode behoede my ek wil nooit opera met klankversterking in \u2019n operahuis hoor nie \u2013 maar in die buitelug is balans belangriker as tekstuur. Met \u2019n mikrofoon op die kop gee dit operasangers die geleentheid om minder te fokus op projeksie en meer op wat rondom hulle op die verhoog gebeur. En ek dink dis deel van die sukses van hierdie produksie. In \u2019n operahuis soek \u2019n mens daai tekstuur van kleiner en groter stemme, maar hier wil \u2019n mens kan h\u00f3\u00f3r. <\/p>

Figaro pas Berger soos \u2019n handskoen, Kahts is heerlik mal as Rosina, en Mose as Bartolo is \u2019n hoogtepunt. Die res van die rolverdeling gee \u00e1lles. <\/p>

Gaan vir die opera, bly vir \u2019n goeie tyd.<\/p>
