Music reviews of Saint of Bleecker Street
Music Review: Lovely music, unconvincing drama...
Rating: 3 Stars
There's no one with a greater passion than I for uncovering contemporary examples of great romantic opera, and I was really looking forward to listening to this one, since I'd often heard (most heartwarmingly from his critics) that Menotti was a Puccini wannabe, and I love Puccini! The music was largely everything I'd been led to expect. But, frankly, Puccini wouldn't have looked twice at this libretto. If he had, he'd have dropped the final curtain after the death of Desideria, the most movingly real moment in the story. In fact, she's the only character I could relate to. Both pious Annina, and her agnostic brother Michele are too wholly satisfied with their own worldviews, and neither character changes a whit during the whole story. Menotti handles many scenes very well, and even the close grabs the listener in its own way, but I felt that the characters were ciphers placed in the story to represent the two sides of Menotti's internal religious struggle, and they're never any more than that. Still, the music made me want to investigate more of Menotti's operas.The opera would also have been better served by a different soprano, as Julia Melinek doesn't have the youthful sounding voice that would best suit Annina.
