Inside Opera: Becoming Zerlina - From first rehearsal to stage (The Royal Opera)

Duration: 30:50
Updated: 12 May 2014

In a specially created documentary, follow soprano Elizabeth Watts as she takes on the role of Zerlina for the first time in Kasper Holten's production of Don Giovanni. Find out more at http://www.roh.org.uk/dongiovanni A film by Pinny Grylls. Mozart's Don Giovanni -- first staged in 1787 -- offers boundless scope for directors. Kasper Holten's interpretation focuses on the power of the creative imagination. Don Giovanni is cast as an artist who seduces an endless stream of women through his ability to create wonderful illusions. His catalogue of sexual conquests is a vain attempt to escape his own mortality, and ultimately comes at a high price. Holten's production is rich in both colourful comedy and exhilarating drama. Set designs by Es Devlin (Les Troyens) and costume designs by Anja Vang Kragh (Stella McCartney, John Galliano for Christian Dior), with video projections by Luke Halls and choreography by Signe Fabricius, portray the visually entrancing world of Don Giovanni. At the heart of the production are the beauty and invention of Mozart's dazzling score, which ranges from gorgeous arias and dramatic duets to the brilliant layering of dance melodies that bring Act I to a virtuoso close.

What does great art do to our bodies? In an exciting world first, The Science of Opera with Stephen Fry and Alan Davies saw a team of medical scientists from UCL discovering what happens inside us when we go to the opera. Opera lover Stephen Fry took his friend, Royal Opera virgin and QI panellist Alan Davies, to the Royal Opera House. They were hooked up with the latest medical gadgetry to record the physical effects on their bodies of watching Verdi's political masterpiece Simon Boccanegra. The Science of Opera promises some landmark medical discoveries as well as answering some key questions; was Alan Davies won over by opera? Did Stephen Fry get shivers down the spine during the show? Did either of them fall asleep? And what could opera do to you? http://www.roh.org.uk

Find out more at http://www.roh.org.uk/sleepingbeauty The Sleeping Beauty holds a special place in The Royal Ballet's repertory. It was the ballet with which the Company reopened the Royal Opera House in 1946 after World War II, announcing its move from Sadler's Wells to Covent Garden. Margot Fonteyn danced the role of the beautiful princess Aurora in the first performance, with Robert Helpmann as Prince Florimund. Sixty years later, in 2006, the original 1946 staging was revived, returning Oliver Messel's wonderful designs and glittering costumes to the stage once again. Marius Petipa's classic 19th-century choreography is combined with newly created sections by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. The ballet contains many memorable moments, from the iconic Rose Adagio, when Aurora meets her four royal suitors, to the vigorous hunting dances and the famous waltz for Aurora and her Prince. Throughout, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's score conveys passion and intensity.

Manon Lescaut Trailer (The Royal Opera)

Duration: 1:21
Updated: 08 May 2014

Puccini's first triumph returns to Covent Garden for the first time in 30 years in a new staging by Jonathan Kent. Find out more: http://www.roh.org.uk/productions/manon-lescaut-by-jonathan-kent The production will be relayed live in cinemas around the world on 24 June 2014. Puccini's publisher tried to prevent him from adapting Abbé Prévost's L'Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut -- Massenet had already created a highly successful opera based on the novel. But Puccini was not to be dissuaded, claiming 'a woman like Manon can have more than one lover'. Despite a troubled gestation (five librettists were engaged in the project), the premiere of Manon Lescaut in 1893 was Puccini's first major triumph -- a hit with critics and the public alike. Jonathan Kent -- director of The Royal Opera's much-loved staging of Tosca -- brings a new production of Manon Lescaut to Covent Garden. Puccini's sumptuous, richly-coloured score is characterized by youthful vitality and filled with glorious melodies. Des Grieux expresses his passion for Manon in the Act I aria 'Vedete? io son fedele', lively dances evoke Manon's luxurious life in Paris in Act II, while in the impassioned finale to Act III, 'Pazza son!', Des Grieux begs to be allowed to join the imprisoned Manon on her voyage to America. The opera culminates in Manon's heartbreaking Act IV aria 'Sola, perduta, abbandonata', as she contemplates her impending death.

State Opera House - Vienna

Duration: 0:40
Updated: 04 Apr 2014

Visit the State Opera House in Vienna, Austria Vienna, Austria Travel Guide & Tours http://goo.gl/o2JBMc Travel Videos HD World Travel http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube The Vienna State Opera (German: Wiener Staatsoper) is an opera house -- and opera company -- with a history dating back to the mid-19th century. It is located in the centre of Vienna, Austria. It was originally called the Vienna Court Opera (Wiener Hofoper). In 1920, with the replacement of the Habsburg Monarchy by the First Republic of Austria, it was renamed the Vienna State Opera. The members of the Vienna Philharmonic are recruited from its orchestra. History History of the building Construction The building was the first major building on the Vienna Ringstraße commissioned by the Viennese "city expansion fund". Work commenced on the building in 1861 and was completed in 1869, following plans drawn up by architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll. It was built in the Neo-Renaissance style. The Ministry of the Interior had commissioned a number of reports into the availability of certain building materials, with the result that stones long not seen in Vienna were used, such as Wöllersdorfer Stein, for plinths and free-standing, simply-divided buttresses, the famously hard stone from Kaisersteinbruch, whose colour was more appropriate than that of Kelheimerstein, for more lushly decorated parts. The somewhat coarser-grained Kelheimerstein (also known as Solnhof Plattenstein) was intended as the main stone to be used in the building of the opera house, but the necessary quantity was not deliverable. Breitenbrunner stone was suggested as a substitute for the Kelheimer stone, and stone from Jois was used as a cheaper alternative to the Kaiserstein. The staircases were constructed from polished Kaiserstein, while most of the rest of the interior was decorated with varieties of marble. The decision was made to use dimension stone for the exterior of the building. Due to the monumental demand for stone, stone from Sóskút, widely used in Budapest, was also used. Three Viennese masonry companies were employed to supply enough masonry labour: Eduard Hauser (still in existence today), Anton Wasserburger and Moritz Pranter. The foundation stone was laid on 20 May 1863. Public response The building was, however, not very popular with the public. On the one hand, it did not seem as grand as the Heinrichshof, a private residence which was destroyed in World War II (and replaced in 1955 by the Opernringhof). Moreover because the level of Ringstraße was raised by a metre in front of the opera house after its construction had begun, the latter was likened to "a sunken treasure chest" and, in analogy to the military disaster of 1866 (the Battle of Königgrätz), was deprecatingly referred to as "the 'Königgrätz' of architecture". Eduard van der Nüll committed suicide, and barely ten weeks later Sicardsburg died from tuberculosis so neither architect saw the completion of the building. The opening premiere was Don Giovanni, by Mozart, on May 25, 1869. Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth (Sissi) were present.

La Scala Opera House and its square - a short video guide

Updated: 17 Mar 2014

http://www.leonardoamilano.com La Scala Opera House is one of the most celebrated in the world. Discover how La Scala and its square are more than just a theatre for the Milanese. Caption: You are now in the La Scala square, the most celebrated square of Milan together with the Duomo square. I like to point out how this square summarizes all the aspects which make Milan a city of capital importance: culture, finance, trade, political power and fashion. Let's start with La Scala Opera House. Built in 1778, it's arguably the most important and celebrated Opera House in the world. Sometimes tourists are a bit puzzled by the fact that its facade is somewhat unimpressive. I agree, the facade is a bit understating, but its interiors are amazing, a treasure chest of gilded decorations. And you can see them without having to fight for an opera ticket! Simply head for the La Scala Museum, on the left hand side of the Opera House, and if they are not setting up a show you will get the chance to have a look at the Theatre's magnificent interior. On the left side of the square you can see the former headquarters of the Commercial Bank of Italy. Financial Power has always been important in Milan, which is in fact Italy's financial capital. The building now hosts a brand new museum, showing the bank's rich artistic collection. It's certainly worth a visit, because of its collection, spanning from the XIX century to contemporary Arte Povera artists, because of its unusual setting in a former bank building, and, last but not least, because it's completely free! Opposite the Opera House there is Palazzo Marino, Milan's City Hall, where the political power of the City resides. Not surprisingly, being Milan so finance-centered, this building was primarily built as the house of a banker in the XVI century. It is now the center of Milan's political power, and sometimes it hosts free art exhibitions. Finally, you can see the entrance of the celebrated Vittorio Emanuele II arcade. It was the oldest shopping mall in Italy, built at the end of the XIX century, and it connects La Scala square with the Duomo square. It hosts plenty of elegant fashion shops and features a magnificent marble floor under an impressive glass and steel vault. It also has a kind of sinister flavour, because, its designer Giuseppe Mengoni, died by falling down from the glass dome just after the inauguration - if it was accident or suicide will remain an unsolved mystery. Please have a look at the statue in the center of the square. Can you recognize it? It is the statue of Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in Milan for 17 years and left here an important mark, symbolized especially by the Last Supper.
