Three great musicals form the glory days of Hollywood. Legends of the genre such as Fred Astaire and Judy Garland star in triple feature of extravagant dancing and singing. ROYAL WEDDING (1951), TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY (1946), and FIESTA (1941) are the films included.ROYAL WEDDING: Dancing and romance collide in ROYAL WEDDING as a brother-sister dance team (Fred Astaire and Jane Powell) open their musical show in London shortly before the English royal wedding and find love of their own. Showcasing some of Astaire's most memorable dance scenes in film history--Astaire's hat-rack partner and his dancing on the ceiling (impressive even to those jaded by special effects)--this tale of finding true love when it's least expected, and least wanted, has delighted audiences since the movie's release in 1951.Flirty Ellen and dance-focused Tom have escaped the clutches of many marriage-minded partners, keeping their joint entertainment careers their first priority. When they leave New York to sail for London to open a new musical show, Ellen leaves behind many besotted men but no regrets. But when a ladies' man (and lord) falls hard for Ellen, and a British girl in the dance chorus needs Tom's help to locate her fiance, both brother and sister realize that this time love must come first.TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BY: This large-scale Technicolor musical is one of those over-the-top, maximalistic productions that the Golden Age of the Studio System was famous for!

And of course, it features many of the hit tunes of the era.FIESTA: A fiesta is held for a girl who returns from Mexico City to her father's hacienda.

One of Verdi`s lesser-known works, IL CORSARO is a tragic opera composed in the autumn of 1948, after the composer had established a reputation in Italy. Despite the infrequence of its performance, the story is an exciting tale of war, betrayal, and doomed love, manifested in many moving passages and an engaging rhythm. The production featured here stars much-lauded baritone Renato Bruson, and conductor Renato Palumbo; the work is augmented considerably by the gorgeous set design by Lamberto Puggelli.
