About

Opus Arte is proud to announce the release of the first opera High Definition DVD onto the world market. High Definition provides a phenomenal audio visual experience – not only is the video resolution much higher than standard DVD but the audio capacity is also increased up to a maximum of 7.1 surround-sound channels. The HD DVD format opens the door to many new levels of interactivity, together with ‘picture in picture’ menus.
 
The internationally renowned Mozart interpreter Sir Colin Davis conducts the chorus and orchestra of the Royal Opera House and a glittering cast in David McVicar’s 2003 production of Mozart’s last opera recorded, in sumptuous surround sound, live at Covent Garden.
 
This production’s slow journey from darkness into the light…works well on the small screen, not least thanks to High Definition camera work and Sue Judd’s inspired direction for television. The real magic, though, is supplied by the onstage cast and intensified by Colin Davis in the pit.’ Classic fM
 
Diana Damrau’s supremely sung Queen of the Night oozes class, while Simon Keenlyside’s profoundly human, touchingly sympathetic view of Papageno deserves an Olivier Award.’ Classic fM
 
‘…a must have.’ BBC Music Magazine
 
Sir Colin Davis… lives every moment of the score and conveys all its profound humanity.’ Gramophone
