Not exactly what I thought it'd be...but...
When I bought this DVD I didn't really have an idea of what I was getting into. I was thinking based on the vague description offered that it would be something similar to 'Topsy Turvy', but it is not like that at all. The first section is selections of music by Strauss, Strauss Jr., Josef Strauss, and an early companion and competitor of Strauss Sr., Joseph Lanner. Everybody is in period ...

Give it a watch...........
I'm always leery of "new and improved" productions of the works of Gilbert & Sullivan. The originals are hard to beat. To my amazement, this version of The Mikado is actually very watchable and enjoyable! The producers stayed true, for the most part, to both the original story line and libretti (other than the fact they "moved" the story from Japan to England, and made a few very minor changes ...

Dreamlike, chilling presentation
I borrowed a copy of this gem from a friend. How does Handel keep you engrossed when his characters repeat the same line over and over? You may also ask yourself this question. Very edgy, sensual production that make you also wonder if the same guy wrote "Messiah". Actually, Handel wrote more opera than oratorio. getting chills as I write this, though I experienced it about 2 years ago. If ...

Excellent Artistic Interpretation
Antoine de Saint-Exupery's classic book (which I have reviewed) has spawned many adaptations, including a Lerner & Lowe musical, a claymation version, a short-lived animated series, and finally the opera by Rachel Portman. Portman's opera, in my opinion, is the best adaptation. It translates Saint-Exupery's heartfelt classic effortlessly, with ethereal music, imaginative staging, and great ...

Best of the British best doing Richard Rodgers
This is an excellent DVD with good sound for a live performance, wonderful singers singing wonderful songs. Since Oklahoma was performed in Australia, London, and translated into many languages, I question another reviewer' statement that implies only Americans can do this music. Granam Bickley, Leslie Garrett, Kim Criswell, Maureen Lipman, Johnny Johnston and the Oklahoma Rejects (or some ...

Correction
Just to re-assure current customers that this recording was made at the first revival (last performance of the run, in fact) in 1988. There has been NO subsequent TV recording made of this ENO production at the Coliseum (I should know, I was in it!) since that time. Just to clear up the confusion. Christopher Robson

Twin Falls Idaho
From the restrained colors, music, pacing, acting - every element of this movie was perfectly thought out and perfectly connected. Including the Polish Brothers in their role as conjoined twins. They allow a peek inside what it is like to be a twin in the first place - but taking it to the most extreme example of two twin brothers that love and hate one another. And live with the knowlege that ...
