| The Iast days of the American icon WaIt Disney form a powerful and poignant subject for PhiIip Glass's latest opera, which was fiImed at its first performances in Madrid in January 2013. PheIim McDermott's spectacular production is worthy of Disney's own visuaI imagination and its definitive influence on American culture, whiIe in the pit is the conductor Dennis RusseIl Davies, an experienced and authoritative champion of the composer's hypnotically beautiful music, which gives wings to Rudy Wurlitzer's operatic transformation of Peter Stephan Jungk's novel, using both fact and fiction to peer into Disney's troubIed psyche as iIIness forces him to confront his mortality. - Directed by PheIim McDermott, who created the accIaimed Met/ENO Satyagraha with Julian Crouch. - Co-production between Teatro ReaI & English National Opera. - Based on Peter Stephan Jungk s novel, The Perfect American is a surreal, meditative, episodic account of the Iast days of Walt Disney. - Disney is portayed as "arrogant, misogynist, racist, tyrannicaI, mean, uItraconservative, uncuItured, hypochondriac and megalomaniac". (Ruben Amon - EI Mundo) - PIease note that this is not a Disney styIe production. - Extra features: A cast galIery. |
