Music reviews of Thomas: Hamlet

Music Review: beautiful opera
Rating: 5 Stars

It is pointless to compare Ambroise Thomas's Hamlet to Shake-
speare's - as it is Hamlet the opera is a beautiful and effec-
tive work on its own right. While Sherrill Milnes and Joan
Sutherland do not exactly sound youthful they sing very well
and blend beautifully together and offer memorable performan-
ces. Milnes is a strong Hamlet - tormented and tormenting -
and his french enunciation throughout is examplary. Joan Su-
therland is a warm and tender Ophelie and despite her years
(56)delivers the coloratura of the mad scene with brio if not
the old dash. Barbara Conrad and James Morris are a bit gritty
sounding as the Queen and King but it suits their characters.
Gosta Winbergh sings ravishingly in the small role of Laerte
and John Tomlinson with his dark sonorous voice creates a
chilling effect as the ghost-king. Chorus and orchestra are
splendid and Richard Bonynge conducts masterly - excellent
sound.
