A performance of Mozart's 'The Magic Flute' by puppet theatre.
This famous and highly-praised Royal Opera production by film director John Schlesinger filmed in 1981 is as good as we are ever likely to see. The spectacular designs by Maria Bjornson and William Dudley vividly bring Hoffman's nightmare world to life. The brilliant cast is led by Placido Domingo as Hoffmann in one of his towering portrayals. He has become wholly identified with this part in a way that no other artist has.
The exceptional nature and high artistic quality of this performance justify publication of this video even though the filming was done only to preserve the performance of Teatro Regio's archives and therefore offers few close-up shots and occasionally unclear lighting.Parma Teatro Regio Rebbraio 1987
