Original Story
“Double, double, toil and trouble,” indeed! Shakespeare’s punchiest tragedy gets a makeover in a way that only the prodigious Filipino multi-hyphenate Khavn De La Cruz could deliver. Unfolding in the Municipality of Marcos, Ilocos Norte and Khavn’s own Burroughsian Interzone of Mondomanila – also the title of the director’s crazed horror-comedy-crime drama, which premiered at IFFR 2012 – this mash-up of styles, genres, moods and atmospheres features a cast of over 100 performers and defies any easy description, even with so familiar a text. But as Khavn says of his source material, "Usually, word is king. Here, text is just one of the many cogs. It’s a column, a roof shingle, an ornament."

This Wagner opera is rarely performed because of the scandals that engulfed the Magdeburg Theatre when it was performed in 1836 under the title The Novice of Palermo, and became known as a cursed opera from which the composer had to distance himself. Wagner's adaptation of the story reflects the rebellious mood of a Revolutionary Germany, vindicating sensual love and attack the fanatical repression of sexuality by a puritanical and hypocritical authority. As the prose says, "Shame to him whose cruel striking/Kills for faults of his own liking!". One of the most extraordinary musicals based on a text by Shakespeare, especially worthy of a new performance as it is four hundred years since the death of the Bard.

Based on the play A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, a choreographic film by Jean-Christophe Maillot. Gorgeous dancing – and wildly imaginative sets and costumes – bring to vivid life the ecstatic, elegant eroticism in Shakespeare‘s classic fantasy. Recorded at The Grimaldi Forum Monaco, 2009.

The fat knight Sir John Falstaff imagines that Mistress Ford and Mistress Page are both taken with him and so, attracted as much by their husbands’ money as their personal charms, he decides to woo them both. But the women are up to the old lecher’s tricks and turn the tables on him with a series of humiliating assignations, midnight terrors and a very damp, extremely smelly laundry basket. Gutsy, colloquial and bustling with vivid characters, The Merry Wives of Windsor is a brilliantly constructed farce and the only comedy Shakespeare set in his native land. It is also the ancestor of English bourgeois comedy and gave birth to a tradition that reaches down to the modern TV sitcom. The production made merry with the relationship between the life of middle-class Elizabethan England and the late medieval period in which the play is set.
Original Story
«Ромео и Джульетта» никогда еще не были такими провокационными, как в этой истории, где события пьесы Шекспира перенесены из старинной Вероны в современный университетский кампус при военной академии, где несколько парней из соперничающих школ разыгрывают эту трагедию из учебной программы в действительности. Через отточенные диалоги первоисточника, нежные любовные отношения в сочетании с напряженным эротическим ритмом и несколькими неожиданными поворотами сюжета, они бросают вызов общепринятому восприятию мужественности, гомосексуальности и вооруженных сил.

After over a century out of the Met’s repertoire, audiences were thrilled to discover just what a sensational evening in the theater Thomas’s Hamlet can be. Simon Keenlyside’s riveting performance as the tortured Prince of Denmark in Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser’s starkly brooding production had critics raving that Keenlyside’s superb singing, coupled with his deftly delineated three-dimensional Hamlet, was one of the greatest examples of operatic drama of our time. The cast includes Marlis Petersen as the long suffering Ophélie, who brilliantly shows why her mad scene is so justly famous, along with Jennifer Larmore and James Morris as Gertrude and Claudius.

Original Story
Part of Tutto Verdi series - Otello (2008) Salzburg. 'Otello' is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Arrigo Boito, based on Shakespeare's play 'Othello'. It was Verdi's penultimate opera, and was first performed at the Teatro alla Scala, Milan, on 5 February 1887.
Original Story
Verdi’s admiration for Shakespeare led to such masterpieces as Othello and Falstaff, and if the earlier Macbeth isn’t on their exalted level it’s still a powerfully dramatic opera that hews closely to the original’s story line. The MET’s production retains the dark aura of the opera while updating it to a vaguely post-modern context. So the witches are bag ladies in various stages of decrepitude, with children in tow. The Banquet Scene features lowered chandeliers, a plethora of chairs, and a slew of extras dressed in tuxedos and party gowns. Macbeth sports a leather coat, the soldiers are in drab brown uniforms and seem to have fingers on their triggers even when they’re supposed to be in non-threatening situations. Director Adrian Noble also has Lady Macbeth do an inordinate amount of writhing around and singing from a lying-down position, adding to the feeling that a less interventionist directorial hand might have generated more impact.

The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in approximately 1603, and based on the Italian short story Un Capitano Moro ("A Moorish Captain") by Cinthio, a disciple of Boccaccio, first published in 1565. The work revolves around four central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army; his new wife, Desdemona; his lieutenant, Cassio; and his trusted ensign, Iago. Because of its varied and current themes of racism, love, jealousy and betrayal, Othello is still often performed in professional and community theaters alike and has been the basis for numerous operatic, film and literary adaptations.

Part of Tutto Verdi series - Macbeth (2006) Parma. Macbeth is one of the most multi-layered, profound and demanding roles that Verdi ever wrote for a baritone and the Italian singer Leo Nucci is arguably the most distinguished in his field. The role has repeatedly brought him lasting success and he enacts it with an intensity that only the very experienced stage personality can muster. French singer Sylvie Valayre is known for her versatile interpretations of spinto and dramatic coloratura soprano parts, especially for particularly gruelling roles like Lady Macbeth. Supported by Italian bass Enrico Iori as Banco and tenor Roberto Iuliano as Macduff, they make up a wonderful cast under the baton of Bruno Bartoletti, musical director of the Teatro Regio di Parma.

With freshly rechristened characters and brand-new dialogue, this British TV production of Othello is a "rethinking" of Shakespeare's play, albeit still retaining the original's power and potency. The story is set in the London of the near future, a crime-ridden metropolis virtually torn apart by racial hostilities. By order of the Prime Minister, black police officer John Othello (Eamonn Walker) is promoted to Commissioner, a post dearly coveted by Othello's friend, mentor and fellow officer Ben Jago (Christopher Eccleston). Seething with jealousy, Jago contrives to discredit Othello in the eyes of the public, and to destroy John's interracial marriage to the lily-white Dessie (Keeley Hawes). Among those used as unwitting dupes to gain Jago's ends are Othello's trusted lieutenant, Michael Cass (Richard Coyle), scrupulously honest police constable Alan Roderick (Del Synnott), and Jago's own wife, Lulu (Rachael Stirling).

The Graham Vicks production of FALSTAFF opened the new Covent Garden Royal Opera House, and was not to everybody's taste; the garish primary colours of the costumes. The staging is effective--the complicated counterpoint of the ensembles is reflected in unobtrusive blocking that keeps the vocal lines clear and separate, especially in the final fugue. Bryn Terfel's Falstaff is a memorable creation, self-mocking and self-aggrandising at the same time--so much so, in fact, that he almost does not need the vast prosthetic body he has to wear for the part. Desiree Rancatore is an admirably sweet-toned Nanetta; Bernadette Manca di Nissa an appropriately sardonic Mistress Quickly; Roberto Frontali as Ford, in his Act 2 scena, perfectly distils and parodies every jealousy aria ever written, including Verdi's own. Haitink's conducting is exemplary in the lyrical passages, gets almost everything out of the fast and furious comic sections.

Нью-йоркский Гамлет нашего времени – молодой режиссёр, сражённый известием о смерти отца, главы богатейшей «Датской корпорации». Овдовевшая мать с неприличной поспешностью выходит замуж за Клавдия, младшего брата покойного и нового президента компании. Чем больше Гамлет размышляет о судьбе отца, тем мрачнее становятся его подозрения, а жажда мести – всё настойчивее и мучительнее. Не ведая покоя, герой монтирует фильм «Мышеловка» о семейном предательстве, вероломной лжи и убийстве, приглашая на просмотр всех тех, кто является прототипом экранных персонажей.

Аль Пачино выступает в этом совершенно оригинальном документальном фильме в качестве режиссёра и актёра, исполняя роль Ричарда Третьего. «В поисках Ричарда» — не только экранизация отдельных сцен шекспировской пьесы, но и размышление о современном восприятии Шекспира, и исследование процесса работы актёров над образами своих героев.

Пока Шекспир был жив, аристократы тешили себя утонченной фигней, а простые плебеи за гроши внимали его гениальным пьесам. Попытки оторвать Вильяма от толпы не прекращаются уже 400 лет — гениальное должно быть дорогим и труднодоступным. Но все эти потуги бессильны: Шекспир — неоспоримое доказательство глубины и мощи мусорной культуры (трэша): он ставил свои пьесы на гроши, сюжеты передирал у других, углубляя воздействие за счет секса и насилия (догадался сделать Джульетту малолеткой, чего не было у его предшественников Банделло и Брука). Он не заботился о декорациях, костюмах, качестве игры и комфорте зрителей.

Original Story
Verdi’s monumental score is fully the equal of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy—and both demand great actors. This is one performance where both playwright and composer are well served. Plácido Domingo’s Otello is one of the glories of the operatic world, beautifully sung and so commandingly acted that audiences are devastated by the end. Renée Fleming’s ravishingly beautiful Desdemona is deeply moving, and as Iago, James Morris is as beguiling as he is menacing. Under James Levine’s conducting the Met orchestra and chorus are vital characters in the drama.

Книги Просперо Питера Гринуэя - оригинальная интерпретация первоисточника. Почти все диалоги в фильме принадлежат Гилгуду, играющему Просперо. Кроме того, почти все действие сопровождается неким миметическим балетом из обнаженных мужчин и женщин. Вечает все блестящая работа худощников-постановщиков Бен Ван Оса и Яна Рулфса и оператора Саши Вьерни. Книги Просперо, снятые по шекспировской Буре (весьма странная пьеса в наследии английского гения), представляют собой, мягко говоря, неожиданную версию классики - истории о миланском герцоге Просперо , отправленном своим братом-противником в открытое море и оказавшемся на острове вместе со своими полуволшебными книгами и маленькой дочерью.

The "Hamlet" in this well-mounted Italian spoof is the Danish prince, not a small town or village. The movie irreverently draws on both the Shakespeare play and the 1877 story by Jules Laforgue. In the story, Hamlet (Carmelo Bene) is a would-be playwright. He suffers from inept Freudian analysis by Polonius (Pippo Tuminelli), and Ophelia and Gertrude (Isabella Russo & Luciana Cante) are women conjured up in his erotic imagination.

Herbert von Karajan directed this film of Verdi’s Shakespearan masterpiece as well as conducting the Berlin Philharmonic. As the tragic Moor of Venice, arguably his greatest role, John Vickers (in the words of critic David Cairns) "commands both the notes and the moral grandeur of the part. … And he has the aura of greatness – greatness of heart, of bearing, of musical and dramatic conception". Mirella Freni is a heartbreakingly lovely and fragile Desdemona, while the fine English baritone Peter Glossop plays the villainous Jago.

Роман Полански поставил противоречивую версию классической пьесы Шекспира о шотландском дворянине, которого погубило желание занять королевский трон. Это первый фильм режиссера после убийства его жены Шэрон Тэйт семьей Мэнсона. Насыщенный графическим насилием «Макбет» можно понять, как попытку изгнать демонов из собственной реальной жизни. В любом случае, возможно, это и не лучшая экранизация Шекспира, но определенно самое вдохновенное воссоздание холодного варварского духа тех времен. Грубость и кровавая жестокость на экране не самоцель или безответственность, а продуманная интерпретация, которая в меньшей степени поддается передаче обычными театральными приемами и техникой.

Fusing Shakespeare‘s tragedy with the Verdi opera, Schroeter's Macbeth is a fascinating television experiment shot entirely in a studio with several electronic cameras. As Schroeter would recall, "I arranged the Verdi music for a quartet of violin, accordion, piano and oboe, but modeled the rhythms on Argentinian tangos and boleros. The actors sang with horrifying, shrill voices.... The use of video allowed me to produce extraordinary colors.... Of all my films, Macbeth was most unwelcome: Audiences don’t like their Shakespeare to be presented in this way, but I do not differentiate between kitsch and culture...". - MoMA

Согласно авторитетному опросу среди деятелей мирового театра, Лир Пола Скофилда – лучшая шекспировская роль ХХ века, квинтэссенция Шекспира. Существует кинофильм, поставленный Питером Бруком в 1971 году, почти через 10 лет после премьеры спектакля. Достаточно первого крупного плана Лира – Скофилда, чтобы понять – нет, пожалуй, готовых рецептов для молодых актёров тут не будет. Гениальность – отличная собственность, но сомнительное наследство. И эта мощь, и это словно из базальтовой глыбы вырубленное неподвижное лицо, каждый мимический жест которого выглядит гигантским тектоническим сдвигом, и этот голос с хриплой трещиной – словно в церковный орган попала молния, всё это – неповторимо.Сцена бури навсегда избавит видевших её от иллюзий возможности обойтись в шекспировских ролях тем, что Михаил Чехов называл «личной психологией».

Lucena, a henchman working for the Araújos, finds Faustão and offers twice the amount being asked to the colonel in order to take Henrique as a prisoner, but the bandit refuses the offer. Colonel Henrique pays the ransom, but the son refuses to return home, even being aware of the feud between his family and the Araújos. The young man chooses to join the gang.

Среди 56-ти экранизаций великой трагедии Шекспира эта (32-ая) считается одной из лучших. Это была одна из первых экранизаций, где возраст персонажа совпадал с возрастом актёра, его играющего. Из-за мизерного бюджета фильма всё действие происходит на тёмном фоне, но это не мешает этой экранизации быть очень популярной.

Desdemona in Verdi's Otello was a career role for soprano Renata Tebaldi, from her first operatic performance outside of Italy to her final appearance on the opera stage. Between those landmarks she performed the role nearly 100 times all over the world and made studio audio recordings that became reference recordings for the role. This 1962 production with the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Giuseppe Patane was planned as a media event from the outset and blessedly captures a consummate artist in a signature role at the peak of her gifts.

'The Rest Is Silence, a German-made attempt to update Shakespeare, is one of the best and least self-conscious of this minor genre. As indicated by the title, the film's script is a "mufti" version of Hamlet, with young Hardy Krüger trying to prove that his uncle has killed his father. Direct references to the Shakespeare original abound, right down to the re-enactment of the crime for the benefit of the Uncle and the periodic appearances of the ghost of the hero's father.'

Who have you allowed into your home during the pandemic? In Shakespeare’s Love’s Labor’s Lost, a group of young men is determined not to waste this time — they will study, they will better themselves, they will not get distracted by anything, most especially the least productive distraction of all in their eyes, love. To ensure this, they vow that they won’t even let women inside the walls of their kingdom. So when visitors do come to Navarre the king has no other recourse but to make the guests sleep outside in his fields.
