Making full use of Drottningholm Theatre’s unique 17th century Baroque theatre machinery, as well as his deep creative understanding of the profound drama of the work, stage director Pierre Audi creates a production of Zoroastre that completely accords with the spirit of Rameau. True to the form of the tragédie lyrique, choreographer Amir Hosseinpour’s dances perfectly match the weight and meaning of both plot and music. The ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques reinforced with musicians from the Drottningholm Court Theatre Orchestra and Chorus, is expertly and passionately led into the musical stratosphere by musical director Christopher Rousset. This intensely dramatic production is captured live in vibrant High Definition video and true surround sound. - ‘The music is spectacular. It will be very surprising for an audience of today. I think they expect something more static, and it´s never static. It´s always in change, and it surprises you.’ Christophe Rousset (Musical Director). - ‘…an extraordinary opera by Jean-Philippe Rameau … one felt oneself trapped in a beam of harmonious vibrations. The sound has presence, energy, grain. … One´s ears were filled Rameau played like this is an orgy of sound.’ Le Monde.Bonus material Documentary Zoroastre Discovering an opera by Olivier Simonnet / Illustrated Synopsis & Cast GalleryTechnical information Stage Director Pierre Audi / Running time 227 mins / Region Code All regions Picture format 169 Anamorphic / Sound format DTS Surround / LPCM Stereo / Menu languages EN Subtitles EN/FR/DE/ES/IT
