Filmed in High Definition with Superb dts 5.1 Surround Sound plus quality LPCM Stereo Historic production restored and revived, with spectacular costumes designed by Franca Squarciapino and magnificent sets by Mestres Cabanes Fine cast led by Daniela DessiExtra features include ‘Fantasy like vision…’ Scenographer Josep Mestres Cabanes at the Liceu - Mestres Cabanes worked on his Aida vision for eight years. The opulent staging he created in 1945 is here in every detail. The seven magnificent sets he painted for Aida in 1945 have been subtly and painstakingly restored by Jordi Castells and his team - revealing the palaces, temples and surroundings of Memphis and Thebes which the set designer had wanted to evoke in his historical yet also fantasy-like vision. These fascinating sets are not just realistic - but also magical in the theatrical sense. Mestres Cabanes loved the theatre which he had been exploring for over a quarter of a century. His sets are dramatic and visceral, conceived for stage action, conveying the dynamic tensions proper to each part of the work – intimate, epic, severe, sensual, troubled and tragic. - Illustrated synopsis - Cast and Set Galleries Region Code All regions Picture format 169 anamorphic Sound format LPCM Stereo & dts 5.1 surround Running time approx 186 mins Menu language GB Subtitle languages GB/F/D/ES NTSC
