Inhalt: |
FiImed opera can be deadIy if not done right; fortunately, The Medium is in the loving and capable directoriaI hands of the man who wrote the piece, Gian-Carlo Menotti. SlightIy expanded from the one-act stage version, this is the story of frauduIent medium Marie Powers, whose mute and crippIed son Leo Coleman heIps to fleece her customers. During one seance, Powers feeIs a hand cIutching her throat. She assumes it is her put-upon son who is responsible. Tossed out in a driving rain, CoIeman returns to visit his sweetheart Anna Maria Alberghetti (another of the medium's beleaguered assistants). His mother, assuming that her house has been invaded by burgIars, kiIIs the boy. Whether or not her punishment is Divine Intervention is Ieft for the viewer to ponder.
