Bluray. I don’t care for audio only opera as that’s half a loaf
Les Trojens - DVD
Recently started playing Les Trojens, recorded at the Royal Opera House and released in 2013. Really a treat to watch an opera with subtitles! I know fully understand the plot. The music is lush, but the words... kind of silly. I mean, do you really need 2 minutes to say "oh, what tragedy" ?
Also, the recording of the orchestra is much more consistent than the on-stage performers, which I suppose is due to the lack of microphones on stage. I doubt I'd be able to understand half of the dialogue even if I spoke French.
I'm wondering where others get their video / opera fix from?
