Grischa Asagaroff directed this exhilarating updating of Rossini's BARBER OF SEVILLE, changing the setting to Twentieth Century Spain. Asagaroff also placed more emphasis on the characters' psychological situations rather than on the routine slapstick more familiar to audiences. The talent on stage is also stunning, including Manuel Lanza as Figaro, Reinaldo Macias as the count, and Nello Santi handling the baton chores.DVD Features:Note: This DVD is only available in the U.S.Region 0Keep CaseAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 DTS 5.1 PCM StereoInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Access

Cirque du Soleil have come a long way since they were formed in 1984 by a group of talented street performers in Quebec who set out to redefine popular notions of the circus. They have since stunned, mesmerized, and enchanted audiences around the world, and developed an exclusive show, entitled LA NOUBA, for their theater in Disneyworld. Derived from the French expression faire la nouba, which means to live it up, the show lives up to the Cirque du Soleil tradition of unforgettably magical performances, incorporating spectacular acrobatics, extravagant costumes, and beautiful choreography into one delightful, spectacular extravaganza. The show melds drama and traditional circus with a large dose of quirky, bizarre creativity, and showcases feats on the highwire, trapeze, and circus floor that truly must be seen to be believed.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Anamorphic Widescreen - 1.85Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Subtitles - English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese - Optional
