Sing Faster: The Stagehands' Ring Cycle (DVD)
With its massive set designs and 17-hour running time, Richard Wagner's RING CYCLE is the most daunting production an opera house can stage. Jon Else's award-winning documentary SING FASTER chronicles the San Francisco Opera's undertaking of the epic masterpiece from the unique perspective of the company's unionized stagehands. Utilizing time-lapse photography, Else documents the stage crew's efforts to bring the opera's mythical world of Rhinemaidens and Valkyries to life while spending their backstage time playing poker, watching baseball, knitting sweaters, and balancing checkbooks. And as they move half-ton scenery through darkened intermissions or gingerly operate a huge mechanical dragon, the stagehands' behind-the-scenes struggles uncannily echo the epic dramas playing out onstage--offering an apt meditation on the intersection of art and working life.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Biography - 1.

In COURTSIDE COMEDY, basketball fans can relax and enjoy some of those moments when things didn`t quite go according to plan. While the players of the NBA are among the best in the world, they`re only human and prone to mistakes like the rest of us, as proved in this embarrassing collection of bad passes, missed shots, and dribbles that went horribly wrong. Host Ahmad Rashad also collects a few amusing gaffes by commentators, fans, and players in the locker room, making this a highly entertaining way to witness the lighter side of the NBA.
