| Inhalt: |
| The last days of the American icon Walt Disney form a powerful and poignant subject for Philip Glass's latest opera, which was filmed 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 Russell Davies, an experienced and authoritative champion of the composer's hypnoticaIly beautifuI 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 mortaIity. - 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 last days of WaIt Disney. - Disney is portayed as "arrogant, misogynist, racist, tyrannical, mean, ultraconservative, uncultured, hypochondriac and megaIomaniac". (Ruben Amon - El Mundo) - Please note that this is not a Disney style production. - Extra features: A cast gallery. |
