		Luisa Miller is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Salvatore Cammarano, based on the play Kabale und Liebe by Friedrich von Schiller.
		Miller enters and tells her who 'Carlo' really is. He then vows to be revenged on a heartless seducer; but Rodolfo has entered in time to overhear his words and swears solemnly that he intends to make Luisa his wife.
		Luisa Miller is one among several Verdi operas in which the father-daughter relationship becomes terribly important; Rigoletto, Aida, the unrealized King Lear and even La Traviata are among Verdi’s other operas with a pivotal father-daughter theme.

	Luisa Miller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Luisa Miller was the second of the two operas he wrote for the Teatro S Carlo in Naples.
		Luisa Miller opens with a symphonic overture, based on a single theme, and not a medley of tunes from what is to follow.
		Luisa offers her well known prayer in the second act, when confronted by Wurm, Tu puniscimi, o Signore (Punish me, O Lord), followed by her later cabaletta in which she contemplates her death, after her act of renunciation, A brani, a brani, o perfido (Torn in shreds, traitor).

	The Metropolitan Opera
		Luisa, daughter of an old soldier, is in love with a young man she knows as Carlo but who is actually Rodolfo, son of the local lord, Walter.
		The two lovers proclaim undying fidelity, but Miller, Luisa's father, is dubious, and his fears are confirmed when Walter's retainer, Wurm, who also loves Luisa and hopes to marry her, reveals Rodolfo's true identity.
		When Walter storms in shortly afterward and is about to have both Luisa and her father consigned to prison, Rodolfo secures their freedom by threatening to reveal how his father, with Wurm's assistance, murdered his cousin to gain his present position.

	Luisa Miller @ Holland Park
		The opera tells of the country girl Luisa's love for a man known as Carlo, who is in fact the son of the local lord, Walter.
		Luisa's father, Miller, is unhappy with the match, as is Walter's retainer, Wurm, who loves Luisa.
		I suppose his aged voice added a touch of verisimilitude to the proceedings, but as this was at the expense of every technical aspect of his singing - not least in the cadenza of his opening aria - it was difficult to avoid cringing during his big moments.

	Metropolitan Opera: Verdi’s Luisa Miller
		Elijah Moshinsky’s unimaginative conception pointlessly updates the opera's original feudal Swiss setting ("a small village in a Tyrolese area in the first half of the 17th century") to Dickensian England, eliminating the specific historical context which drives the plot.
		I can't help contrast the Met's flaccid effort with Christopher Alden’s thrilling 2000 Spoleto Festival’s Luisa Miller, set in a Tyrolean, feudal, alpine society which fully dramatized the powerlessness of Luisa, the religious fanaticism of the peasantry, and the absolute power of the aristocracy.
		Alden’s regimented chorus placement emphasized the repression and passive formality of the mob’s responses.

		Luisa Miller was composed for Naples, a city whose rather old-fashioned operatic tastes may have constrained Verdi to return to a more mainstream style of composition.
		But Verdi brought to Luisa Miller a maturity and sophistication derived from his experiments earlier in the decade and his first extended stay in Paris.
		Particularly telling are the new refinement in his orchestration and the larger role assigned to the orchestra, the greater flexibility in the musical forms, and the important use of choruses.

		Luisa has no doubts whatever of his honor nor of his intentions: LUISA: I saw him once, and radiant, My heart with rapture bounded.
		Jealous and resentful, angry at Miller for not coercing his daughter into marrying him, he retaliates by revealing the truth about Carlo: he is an imposter, concealing his background, masquerading under a false name.
		ACT THREE Luisa is crushed by a double sorrow: forced into betraying her lover, she believes that he has also betrayed her.

	Guardian \| Luisa Miller
		Olivia Fuchs's new production of Luisa Miller relocates Verdi's bleak study of class and generational conflicts to the UK in the mid-1950s.
		Much of her staging is dominated by hunting imagery, forcefully underscoring the bitter irony that Count Walter, in trying to ensnare Luisa and her father, will inadvertently catch and kill his own son in the same trap.
		Sometimes, the tone falters - the lethal dose of poison is administered in a mug of tea rather than a jug of water, which strikes a false note - while Fuchs's use of ritualised, Peter Sellars-type gestures for the chorus sits uneasily with the rest of it.

	Luisa Miller - Giuseppe Verdi
		Luisa and Carlo are in love; Carlo, unknown to Luisa, is actually Rodolfo, the son of Count Walther, of the local nobility.
		A nice moment's effect of silhouetting the nobles dressed for the hunt was drawn out far beyond the moment and just in case we missed the theme of peasants vs. nobles, the peasants, with scythes and rakes and hoes are added behind the hunters.
		The Miller of Evgenij Dmitriev, belies his youth; he captures the goodness of the father who refuses to force his daughter into marriage ("I am a father, not a tyrant.").

		I just can't understand what happened to Aprile Millo, for some 5 years she sang magnificently and seemed the soprano we had been waiting for decades, and then the voice was gone and her international career was over.
		In this recording of Luisa Miller her voice can be heard at its best, true spinto singing in the mold of Zinka Milanov.
		Katia Ricciarelli was very special as Luisa, probably her finest recording ever, and the great Renato Bruson was incomparable as Miller, if forced to choose, this will be my favourite recording.

		The first Luisa I heard was Millo, who is good but one immediately notices the difference in the quality of the voice when Montserrat sings.
		lt;pgt;From the other Luisa Miller recordings one should also consider the early RCA set with the convincing youthful voice of Moffo, the sublime Bergonzi and a great supportive cast.
		Ricciarelli as Luisa Miller is a must but she recorded the role in studio a bit late; try to get one of her live performances (with Carreras or Pavarotti as Rodolfo).

		A wonderfully played clarinet stuck out of Verdi's Luisa Miller overture when the Washington Concert Opera Orchestra, led by Music Director Antony Walker, presented it at GW's Lisner Auditorium.
		The singers in Luisa Miller included an outstanding, clear baritone Donnie Ray Albert as Signor Miller (the audience rose unisono when he came on stage after the 'curtain'), and Indra Thomas (Luisa) with a powerful, MET-tested, but hazy voice that won in stature as the evening went on.
		Kyle Engler, not new to Washington audiences who had the chance to see her in Andrea Chénier, Democracy, and Dialogue of the Carmelites, impressed with clarity and her beautiful, chamber-like, never pushed voice in the third act.

		Luisa has a lot of scenic changes and it could hold up the drama.
		The locale of Schiller's drama 'Kabale und Liebe' as adapted into Verdi's opera was changed by the censors from a German princely court to a Tyrolean village and the result is an intimate drama in the 'Traviata' mode.
		An interesting aspect of the opera lies in the comparison of the retired army sergeant Miller and the aristocratic Count Walter.

		You can hear Verdi's genius growing through the course of this opera, in part because it is about (among other things) parent-child relationships, a theme that stirred him to the depths of his soul.
		Luisa Miller begins in the manner of early Verdi, goes on to a foretaste of his middle period (Rigoletto, Traviata) and even hints at his late manner (Aida, Otello).
		Placido Domingo's name is (coincidentally) evoked in his show-stopping aria, "Quando le sere al placido," and that may help explain the special energy he puts into it.

		In Luisa Miller, his voice was brilliant, with high notes that seemed to go on forever.
		Of all these performances, Luisa Miller is my favorite.

		Caballe, still in her prime, shows what an intelligent singer she is. In the beginning of the opera she is sweet, just as she should, but she changes her voice as the action proceeds.
		From the other Luisa Miller recordings one should also own the early RCA set with the convincing youthful voice of Moffo, the sublime Bergonzi and a great supportive cast.
		In any case, the Decca set is easily recommended as a great Luisa Miller recording - notice also the very beautiful cover.
