Mozart's opera has been refashioned by director Dorris Dorrie as a'hippie' musical opera, looking more like Hair' or Jesus Christ Superstar while retaining the music of Mozart. Noted conductor Daniel Barenboim handles the baton while the Berlin State Opera Orchestra does an excellent job with the music. Among the notable singers in this production are: Katharina Kammerloher, Dorothea Roschmann and Werner Gura.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 DTS 5.1 PCM StereoInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access

A talented cast and crew combine on this performance, bringing Matthew Bourne`s production of NUTCRACKER! to the stage. Performed at Sadler`s Wells in London, Bourne`s seasonal production, full of Christmas cheer, enjoyed a lengthy run at the theater as well as a subsequent tour across the U.K. Tchaikovsky`s music and Bourne`s production skills make for a perfect marriage, so it`s not surprising to learn that the show managed to set record numbers for audience figures during its tenure at Sadler`s Wells.
