The acting ..a bit wooden , you might expect also..but in spite of these flaws - that one must really expect from an old film...I am not disappointed.In fact, for its day, this was a lush and elaborate production.Scores of immaculately done costumes, some sets in what appears to be outdoors in Naples.Indoors, opulence reigns supreme..sort of excuses the woodeness..all that spiffy garb..and those over the top puffy sleeves..and parachute gowns. Neat little black slippers with bows for the men..nice! Well..maybe you can tell I am an artist..going on and on- can practically draw the performers from memory.."but what about the music?"..The liner notes explain that theyalso spared no expense on the finest analog to digital equipment..comparing one brand to another. Some very old recordings though.Scenes from the operas are actually done on stage. The music..and if you own bellini and donizetti operas, of courseyou'll be delighted.It only whets one's appetite, you know..we really would so love to see modern day production values brought to bear..and real staging of the operas, etc...an army of talent required, of course. A few movies I bought, with say the storyof Liszt..it was way too much fall in love run away, discover the flies in the ointment that all relationships have, and then ugly break up..and just a smattering of music!...no , no, no...we buy a movie about our favorite composer..to hear a grandarray of the music in question!..and for us sappy artists...please no German Nihilism...traditional..pleasing to the eye staging, as well as the ear pleasing.This just happens to be the most beautiful music EVER composed in the short, brutal history of mankind..it deservesWAY more attention , than , say, another Bruce Willis all bloodied up and looking sweaty and menacing...sheesh..does anyone in tinsel town have any clue what the history books will say about them?..it won't be good at all. Just as we laugh at people from the fifties..we will, in about 2034 be laughing our butts off rolling in the floor at the 'suited for the mentally challenged' movie making produced today. Oh ,..how about 3 or 4 more grisly corpse crime scene investigation shows? Sound great to you? ( I'm quite sure if you love the music of Bellini, you are not perusing many grisly corpses if at all.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ See Caniglia Sing a Scene From Pirata, From this Film, for Free on the Bel Canto Society Site *by S***R on May 6, 2012* The film offers an account of Bellini from his days as a student at the Naples conservatory through the premiere of Norma. Caterina Mancini had a cello-like, Ponselle-like voice, slightly throaty, mysterious. Hers was the most luscious Italian soprano of the 50s. See her sing a scene from Il pirata, from this film, for free on the Bel Canto Society site. --Stefan Zucker ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Casta Diva - Romamticized Biography of Belini *by H***N on March 18, 2007* The brief life of Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) is in wonderful 98 minutes film from the days he was a student in Naples to the openning of his famous opera "Norma". The film is with full of his beautiful music. Acting is excellent and the direction is good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/22131169-casta-diva-a-romanticized-biography-of-bellini](https://www.desertcart.it/products/22131169-casta-diva-a-romanticized-biography-of-bellini) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
