Rodelinda
Schubert's 'Winterreise' plus a fifty minute documentary entitled 'Over The Top With Franz' which describes the difficulties in bringing this opera to the screen
Handel's 'Rinaldo' performed under the musical direction of Harry Bicket. Also includes 'Handel -The Entertainer - A Portrait'.
This was the second revival of David Alden's much praised production of Handel's Ariodante at English National Opera/Alden's production requires Ariodante to sing this aria sliding down the side of the roof-dome from which he has been shown the deception.(Review Ariodante)
Alden turns the opera into a study of the relationship between desire and power and the abuses attendant on both. The influence of Marat/Sade looms large as the characters enact a sequence of aggressive sexual games that slowly spiral out of control.(Review Ariodante 2)
Ariodante  H�ndel
This production makes everyone involved into the non plus ultra of what H�ndel opera stands for today: pure beauty � grim truth.
OPERA CANADA - Fall 1994
"David Alden's production of Les Contes d'Hoffmann was a thrilling experience. It was a visually striking production... Buki Shiff's ravishing costumes were stunning and the overall level of the production exemplary."
