Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD

Les Troyens (7x7)

Udgivelsesdato: Jan 05, 2013

Berlioz did not live long enough to see a fully realized performance of his monumental achievement: the operatic version of Virgil's Aeneid. In its day it was overshadowed by the more popular works by Meyerbeer (L'Africaine) and Halevy (Le Juive) but in the later half of the 20th century it has come to be recognized for its forward-looking musical ideas and breadth of expression. A cast of Met powehouses takes us through the Trojan Wars of antiquity.
