Xavier Sabata - Enigma Di Lea - BLU-RAY

Benet Casablancas is widely acclaimed as one of the leading Spanish composers of his generation, and his first opera, L'enigma di Lea, is the fruit of his close collaboration with award-winning writer Rafael Argullol. Reality and myth intertwine and become one in this story of love, grief and passion, as Lea wanders through time and space, a castaway of existence, and the bearer of immortality and a secret that cannot be revealed. The winner of several awards, L'enigma di Lea was declared 'a roaring theatrical success... beautifully staged and exquisitely sung' by Barcelona Metropolitan.

The Common Denominators chronicles the story of three co-workers who were pushed way over the edge. It visually describes how they took revenge with their own brand of justice using strange and outrageous tactics to get the one thing they deserved.. respect!

Based on a play by Victor Hugo, Verdi's Ernani was an immediate success, and as his most popular and frequently performed opera it became a cornerstone of his burgeoning reputation in the mid-1800s. Contemporary critics remarked that 'coming out of the theatre, people were already singing [those] catchy tunes... Few scores have made a stronger, more powerful impression.' Ernani is a dramatic and intensely memorable tale of rebellion and romance - the chilling presence of the man in black and the drama of a joyful wedding turned to intense tragedy remains one of Verdi's most compelling operatic creations. This acclaimed production was the first to be staged at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino since 1965.
