Prokofiev's choice of a theme was somewhat prescient as just a few months into the composing of his opera that the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union. Based on Tolstoy's novel'War and Peace' the theme became a reality for Prokofiev and his country. Unfortunately he would not live to see the opera performed in its entirety as it was performed as both drafts and revised versions. This production was musically directed by Gary Bertini and was performed by the National Opera of Paris.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.0 DTS 5.0 LPCM StereoAdditional Release Material: Featurette - THE MAKING OF WAR AND PEACEInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access
