I Vespri Siciliani DVD

Les Vępres siciliennes, a five-act opera on a libretto by Auguste Scribe and Charles Duveyrier with music by Giuseppe Verdi, was first staged at the Paris Opéra on 13th June 1855. The subject of the opera was nothing other than an adaptation of a libretto that Scribe had written some years before, initially offered to Fromental Halévy and then to Gaetano Donizetti, who left it unfinished because of the onset of the illness that was to bring his life to an end. In the new version for Verdi, Scribe and Duveyrier transferred the action from sixteenth-century Flanders to thirteenth-century Sicily. At first the opera was greeted with great success.

$32.59

Widely remembered as the composer of one of the most popular operas of all time, CARMEN, Georges Bizet was also responsible for this lesser-known gem. Written when he was only 25, the work was not well-recieved upon its initial performance in 1863, but has since come to be appreciated for its beauty and orchestral subtlety. The libretto deals with two men, King Zurga of Ceylon and his friend Nadir, who are both in love with a high priestess, Léďla. Though each claim to be over Leila, when Nadir recognizes her in the temple he cannot deny his feelings, which are returned; though she has vowed celibacy, they meet in secret, and are discovered. The jealous Zurga condemns Léďla to death, but when he realizes she intervened on his behalf years ago, he changes his mind with catastophic results. This production of the only Bizet opera to remain in the repertoire was performed in Venice, with an extraordinary Annick Massis as Léďla, while the staging was executed by Pier Luigi Pizzi. Highlights of the show include Leila's aria, "Comme autrefois, dans la nuit sombre," and ...

Yugo The Negotiator - Pakistan 1: Departure DVD (2004)

I Vespri Siciliani review

$10.15
The provocative anime series YUGO THE NEGOTIATOR breaks new ground in the genre with a topical realism ripped straight from the headlines. In a world racked by terrorism and politically based kidnappings, an unusual operative named Yugo Beppu is hired by various foreign governments to utilize his quick logic, foreign language skills, and psychological manipulation techniques when all other forms of hostage negotiation have failed. Based upon a manga and rendered in a starkly realist style of animation, the first half of the anime series finds Yugo helping a young woman whose father is being held by a Pakistani rebel group bent on overthrowing the government (the second half launches an entirely new Russian storyline). This introductory volume features the first half's first three episodes. A hostage has been taken in Pakistan; the chances of his survival are slim to none. With keen intellect, quick wits and indomitable willpower, Yugo Beppu has earned a reputation as the worlds leading private negotiator. When the negotiations ...
