Translated in English as the Golden Cockerel, LE COQ D'OR was written in 1910 and based loosely on Pushkin's famous poem, The House of the Weathercock. The final opera of esteemed Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, it tells the story of a lazy King and the fate he meets when a magical bird of gold appears to tell him his future. This fine 2002 production was staged at the Theatre Musical de Paris in Chatelet, with a largely Russian cast of soloists including Albert Schagidullin and Ilya Levinsky. The chorus of St. Petersburg's Marrinsky Theatre provides stellar backing support.DVD Features:Region OKeep CaseFull Frame - 1.33

Thomas Mann's mournful, poignant novel gets adapted into a moving opera here. Mann's novel tells the story of Gustav von Aschenbach, a solitary writer who summers in Venice, where he becomes obsessed with an angelic teenage boy. Tortured by his strange lust for the young man, Gustav slowly becomes weakened and physically ill. Using composer Benjamin Britten's powerful, elegiac music to dramatize the plot, this 1981 production is a highly original blend of opera and literature.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English
