Product Description:
Igor Stravinsky’s traditional opera gets a new setting--1950s Las Vegas--in this production directed by Robert Lepage. Complemented by Kazushi Ono as musical director, this innovative performance allows the basic elements of the work to shine.
Description by Naxos:
Stravinsky's masterwork The Rake's Progress, created for La Fenice in Venice in 1951, is based on a libretto by W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman, inspired by a series
of 18th-century prints by William Hogarth. This amazing production from La Monnaie - De Munt ‘jazzifies' the setting by replacing Hogarth's sin city, London, with 1950s
Las Vegas, turning it into a glittering, cinematic gallery of tableaux vivants inspired by the early days of television. Staged by one of the most visionary theatre directors of our age, the Québécois Robert Lepage, the neo-classical morality tale truly becomes a grand spectacle. Lepage's visual imagination works its magic superbly, while Kazushi Ono's energetic musical direction drives the sparkling ensemble to exhilarating heights. Recorded in High Definition and true surround sound.
