Description:

Through the eye of French director Laurent Pelly this expression of Berlioz's undying admiration for the Bard - his adaptation of Much Ado about Nothing as an opera comique - becomes 'an elegant treatise on love and music designed in shades of grey with 50's-era costumes' (Sunday Express). Housed by designer Barbara de Limburg in a series of oversized boxes, it's 'terribly chic, terribly pretty' (The Spectator). Soaring over the 'warmly graceful playing of the London Philharmonic', Paul Appleby sings 'attractively' as Benedict and Stephanie d'Oustrac 'makes a marvellously wiry and fiery Beatrice, singing with charm and acting with gusto' (The Telegraph).

"Beatrice et Benedict" is a captivating opera by Hector Berlioz, presented here in a stunning DVD edition from Opus Arte. This production features the acclaimed Glyndebourne Festival Opera and is conducted by Antonello Manacorda, with direction by Laurent Pelly?renowned for his inventive stagings of French repertoire. The cast includes Stéphanie d?Oustrac as Béatrice, celebrated for her expressive mezzo-soprano roles across Europe, and Paul Appleby as Bénédict, an American tenor praised for performances at the Metropolitan Opera and beyond. Katarina Bradi? (Ursule) and Lionel Lhote (Somarone), both highly respected on international stages, round out the principal cast. Director Laurent Pelly has previously triumphed with productions such as "La Fille du Régiment" at Covent Garden and "Cendrillon" at the Met. Conductor Antonello Manacorda is known for his dynamic interpretations with leading orchestras worldwide. Opus Arte stands among the world?s premier producers of classical music DVDs and Blu-rays, collaborating closely with top-tier opera houses like Royal Opera House Covent Garden and Glyndebourne to deliver visually striking recordings that capture every nuance of live performance. This DVD offers not only Berlioz?s sparkling adaptation of Shakespeare?s ?Much Ado About Nothing,? but also showcases some of today?s most distinguished operatic talents under expert artistic guidance?a must-have addition to any collection.
