Verdi - Rigoletto DVD In their series of celebrated opera productions from the famous Opera House in Barcelona, TDK presents a staging of Rigoletto, one of Verdi's most popular operas, full of melodious arias (the most famous the Duke of Mantua's "La Donna č mobile"), expressive duets and highly dramatic orchestration.
With the brilliant Marcelo Álvarez, who is hailed as "one of the hottest tenors on the international scene" (Opera News) singing the Duke of Mantua and baritone Carlos Álvarez, whose Rigoletto has been hailed as the perfect embodiment of Verdi's court jester, appearing in the title role, this TDK DVD production presents international stars in two of the leading roles. Inva Mula, a Verdi soprano par excellence, provides sterling support in the role of Gilda. The remarkable ensemble, orchestra and chorus of Barcelona's Liceu under the experienced baton of Jesús López Cobos prove the opera house's international standing once again.
The highly experienced Graham Vick provides direction, choosing to accentuate the various tiers that make up the tragic plot and the drama's tremendous brutality: the repellent ugliness of Rigoletto, his humiliation at the hands of the courtiers, the Duke's arrogance, the helplessness and erotic charge behind Gilda's infatuation and, finally, the tragic and ultimate defeat of the Mantua court jester.

Verdi - Rigoletto video
 $14.75 
F.W. Murnau's German silent classic is the original--and some say most frightening--DRACULA adaptation, taking Bram Stoker's novel and turning it into a haunting, shadowy dream full of dread. Names had to be changed from the novel when Stoker's wife charged his novel was being filmed without proper permission. Running times vary depending upon versions of the film. Count Orlok, the rodentlike vampire frighteningly portrayed by Max Schreck, is perhaps the most animalistic screen portrayal of a vampire ever ...

Verdi - Rigoletto review
$20.15 
French director Benoit Jacquot (A SINGLE GIRL) adapts the famous opera by Giacomo Puccini in his film TOSCA. The stunningly dramatic opera stars--Angela Gheorghiu as Floria Tosca, Roberto Alagna as Mario Cavaradossi, and Ruggero Raimondi as Baron Scarpia--steal the show with their intense vocal range and fiery acting. The film cuts back and forth between black and white photography that shows the singers and a full orchestra recording the opera in a studio, and color photography that shows the costumed presentation, act by act, with several different sets. Mario (Alagna) is painting a portrait on the wall of the chapel, inspired by a fair-haired beauty who he has just seen praying below. When his girlfriend, the possessive Diva Tosca (Gheorghui) pays him a surprise visit, he must reassert his love for her, trying to ease her worries and her jealousy at seeing the painting. However, that night when a prisoner escapes, Mario is a suspected accomplice and he is wanted by the police. The evil Baron Scarpia (Raimondi) lies to Tosca, telling her that Mario ran off with the fair-haired beauty, ...
