BEATRICE DI TENDA was one of Vincenzo Bellini's forgotten operas, it was re-staged more than a hundred years after the composer's death. Admired by Richard Wagner at the time, Bellini was a composer who tried many different styles of operas, and this more'experimental' opera was considered a failure at the time, as fans shouted Norma! Norma! from the audience, referring to his more popular work. It is currently considered not one Bellini's strongest works, but one that contains many strong elements and the title role is coveted by sopranos as a showpiece.DVD Features:Region [unknown]Keep CaseWidescreen AnamorphicAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 DTS 5.1 LPCMAdditional Release Material: Interview With Marcello ViottiInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access
