The debut album from soprano Anna Netrebko - entitled OPERA ARIAS - is brought into the visual medium with this release. Five videos are set to arias from the album in a production originally shot for television with cutting-edge choreography coming from Vincent Patterson who formerly worked on feature films such as THE BIRDCAGE and DANCER IN THE DARK.
Jules Massenet's Manon performed by Staatsopernchor, Staatskapelle Berlin conducted by Daniel Barenboim.
Massenet's Manon is all about sex appeal, glamour, beauty, and youth, and if there is a couple on the international opera scene able to embody all those elements, it is the gifted singing actors (Die Welt) Anna Netrebko, in a part thats seems to have been made for her, and Rolando Villazon, expressively deploying his flaming, flexible tenor as her tragic lover.
