Фильмы

Les Contes d'Hoffmann
Music Director
Otto Schenk’s brilliant production captures both the dark romanticism of the story as well as its fairy-tale magic. It is a superb setting for Neil Shicoff’s vivid portrayal of the tortured poet Hoffmann, as he recounts the loves of his life and the way he has been foiled by his nemesis—a marvelous James Morris in a tour-de-force performance of the opera’s four villains. Gwendolyn Bradley is the doll Olympia, Tatiana Troyanos sings the courtesan Giulietta, and Roberta Alexander portrays the innocent Antonia.
Глубокие воды
Conductor
Вик Аллен, владелец небольшой парфюмерной компании, женат на молодой женщине Мелани и имеет от нее десятилетнюю дочь Марион. Мелани, почти не прилагая усилий для утаивания от мужа своих любовных романов, играет в своеобразную провокационную игру. А Вик искусно делает вид, что ничего не замечает, хотя уже строит планы – как изощренно отомстить.
