Watch Becoming Traviata Movie Online Streaming No DownloadingThe reinvention of Verdi's masterpiece, La Traviata, as sung by world-famous French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay, is the subject of Philippe Béziat's thrilling new movie. A modern, minimalist, post-punk approach strips away the opulence and grandiosity associated with operatic productions. Concentrating on director Jean-François Sivadier's working relationship with Dessay, the film reveals how two great creative minds build the story of a doomed love affair. The stars rehearse in what look like yoga outfits, on a bare stage, with minimal props. The final production, set against a backdrop of sky and clouds, punctuated by a single chandelier, features Violetta and Alfredo (a darkly gorgeous Charles Castronovo) as the very essence of hipster-chic. Their passion, however, is for the ages. With music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Louis Langrée. (c) Distrib Release Date Becoming Traviata May 15, 2013 Limited | |

Review For Becoming Traviata | |
| You can follow the story even if you're unfamiliar with the opera - though a five-minute brush-up on the plot wouldn't hurt. Jeffrey Gantz-Boston Globe Zeroing in on the art of rehearsal, "Becoming Traviata" is an exquisitely observed look at performance and the creative process. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times Sivadier and Dessay take the familiar and make it tragic once more. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post Doc offers impressive singing and insights into opera's nonmusical dramatic challenges. John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter A treat for fans of opera, the performing arts and documentaries about process. Ronnie Scheib-Variety [It] may not be fully satisfying as a documentary. But it has what any good movie needs: a star - the ever-game soprano Natalie Dessay. Rachel Saltz-New York Times A clumsy and sadly missed opportunity to capture the creation of a great opera role by a great singer. David Noh-Film Journal International Initially engaging, but increasingly tedious and boring. Strictly for opera aficionados. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru Dessay's waifishness makes her entirely believable as a woman dying from a lung disease. And the camera adores her. When her voice goes, she could have the career in movies that once seemed to await Maria Callas. Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News It works as a reminder of the important interactiveness of the performing arts, of actors evoking the drama, action, and emotion that computers and machines cannot.
