Leave your thoughts about Becoming Traviata.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohA clumsy and sadly missed opportunity to capture the creation of a great opera role by a great singer. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenZeroing in on the art of rehearsal, Becoming Traviata is an exquisitely observed look at performance and the creative process. |
| Boston GlobeJeffrey GantzBecoming Traviata might make you feel you’ve seen Verdi’s opera, or it might make you want to see it. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeDoc offers impressive singing and insights into opera's nonmusical dramatic challenges. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlTime with Dessay is worth treasuring, even when she's not singing. |
| New York TimesRachel SaltzMay not be fully satisfying as a documentary. But it has what any good movie needs: a star — the ever-game soprano Natalie Dessay. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferInitially engaging, but increasingly tedious and boring. Strictly for opera aficionados. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThe movie is most enjoyable as a simple record of the performers, allowing one to eavesdrop on soprano Natalie Dessay and tenor Charles Castronovo as opera director Jean-Francois Sivadier coaches them through some of the libretto's more layered moments. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneGraydon RoyceWatching Dessay work as a real human being and not a glittering vocal princess is a fascinating treat. |
| HeyUGuysLisa Giles-KeddieBecoming Traviata gives a compelling and rare insight into the daily life of the opera industry from the perspective of a filmmaker. |
