    Andrea Gruber Roberto Aronica and Lado Ataneli star in Verdi's early operatic masterpiece Macbeth - filmed live at the Metropolitan Opera in High-definition. EMI Classics continues its collaboration with the Metropolitan Opera with a new production of Verdi's richly haunting opera Macbeth as part of this season's 'Metropolitan Opera : Live in High-Definition series'. For the first time in 20-years the Metropolitan Opera presents the first of Verdi's three operas based on Shakespeare in a stylistically eclectic grimly effective and at times intriguingly playful production (New York Times) by English director Adrian Noble making his Met debut. At the time of composition Macbeth was unique. Not only was it considered both musically and dramatically bold but it was the first opera that can truly be described as Shakespearean. It was the first that altered operatic conventions to serve the play rather than converting the play into traditional operatic formulas. After 35 highly successful years as Music director of the Metropolitan Opera a relationship unparalleled and unique in the musical world today James Levine conducts Verdi's haunting score with tension and a type of brutality that this chilling work commands.

Continuing its collaboration with the Metropolitan Opera and its Metropolitan Opera : Live in High-Definition series EMI Classics is proud to release the METs classic 28 year old production of Puccini's Manon Lescaut on EMI Classics DVD. This release marks a special moment in the Metropolitan Opera's history. It is the first time in 18 years since Puccini's Manon Lescaut was last performed on its great stage. Manon Lescaut a French tale telling of a beautiful young woman destroyed by her conflicting needs for love and luxury was Puccini's first successful opera and the work that thrust him onto the international stage as Italy's foremost opera composer. Finnish soprano Karita Mattila as Manon Lescaut is the star of the performance. Her interpretation of the first of Puccini's many archetypal heroines is riveting - New York Times. Interestingly Mattila waited until her voice had gained maturity and richness before when she was nearly 40 she first portrayed her Manon Lescaut in 1999. She now returns - enticing James Levine to conduct the work for the first time since 1981. After 35 highly successful years as Music director of the Metropolitan Opera a relationship unparalleled and unique in the musical world today James Levine leads a fresh and intelligent performance.

  • Marilyn Horne: A PortraitMarilyn Horne: A Portrait | DVD | (17/07/2001) from £31.70   |  Saving you £-11.71 (-58.60%)   |  RRP £19.99

    As one of America's most treasured and delightful opera singers, mezzo soprano Marilyn Horne was justly lauded in this 1994 profile, originally made for the South Bank Show arts programme. At work as one of the finest bel canto singers of the 20th century or at rest looking poignantly back at her career--the making of the film coincided with her 60th birthday--Horne is splendid company. She was born with singing in her blood, trying her hand at everything from the church choir to jingles, pirate pop singles--she did a mean Kay Starr impersonation--and supplying a singing voice for Dorothy Dandridge in the 1954 film of Carmen Jones before embarking on a career as a classical artist. Horne effectively learned her trade during four years at Gelsenkirchen, going on to form a legendary singing partnership with Joan Sutherland and blazing a trail for the mezzo soprano roles--Arsace in Semiramide has been her signature--through the world's greatest opera houses. But for all her success, Horne has retained a down-to-earth openness which permeates this documentary and has rendered her equally at home on the recital stage or in grand opera costume. She speaks with simple brilliance about the singer's technique and about her desire to broaden the appeal of opera. A fascinating portrait of one hell of a dame. On the DVD: At just 52 minutes, the original programme is too short to do Horne full justice. Even so, the film is packed with enough archive footage to whet the appetite of the novice fan. The sound format is Dolby Digital 2.0--adequate enough to do justice to Horne's extraordinary range and genius for ornamentation, and the picture format can be adjusted from the standard 4:3 to 1.78:1 although both do little more than replicate the look and feel of the original television transmission. Detailed booklet notes compensate for the lack of extras on the DVD itself--a biography or career chronology would have been more than handy. --Piers Ford
