Before live opera telecasts became regular television events The Grater Washington Educational Telecommunications Association ( WETA ) embarked on an ambitious project. In the summer of 1974 WETA began videotaping live operatic and concert performances at the Filene Center Auditorium in Wolf Trap Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna Virginia for broadcast in a series entitled In Performance at Wolf Trap. The overwhelming success of the series proved to public television stations throughout the country that audiences were eager for this kind of programming.In 1976 In Performance at Wolf Trap presented Beverly Sills in one of her most celebrated portrayals that of Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata. Just months earlier Sills had performed the role at the Metropolitan Opera to great acclaim.
During the Apollo lunar missions from 1968 to 1972 those onboard were given 16mm cameras and told to film anything and everything they could in space in orbit and on the surface of the moon itself. Two decades later filmmaker Al Reinert went into the NASA vaults to create this extraordinary compendium of their journeys and experiences. Assembled from hundreds of hours of the astronauts' own footage with a soundtrack made up of their memories and a specially composed score by Brian Eno the film takes the form of one journey to the moon and back again building with elegant simplicity and exquisite construction to create an overpowering vision of human endeavour and miraculous experience. At once intimate and awe-inspiring For All Mankind is a genuinely mesmerising first-hand document of one of the high points of the 20th century. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Criterion's beautiful high-definition restoration of the film for its UK home viewing premi''re in a comprehensive director-approved special edition Blu-ray.
