Combining an intriguing cast, which includes modern dance artists La La La Human Steps, as well as traditional performers such as Paul Agnew and Barbara Bonney, this is a fascinating interpretation of Rameau's opera. Directed by Robert Carsen, the 140-strong cast performs wonderfully as they take to a stage which has been decorated with an amazing attention to detail. To complement the opera, interviews with many of the stars are included, alongside an in-depth talk with director Carsen.DVD Feature:Region 02-Disc SetAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: LPCM Stereo - French Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround - French Subtitles - English, German, French, Spanish -
