description
This month Marco Polo is proud to present its first DVD Video title. True to the label's eclectic vision we are thrilled to present French composer Laurent Petitgirard's opera Joseph Merrick, dit Elephant Man in the critically acclaimed stage production with an all-star cast from Opéra Nice. • Written in 1998, Petitgirard's opera differs from David Lynch's cult film in offering an entirely different perspective on the tale of Joseph Merrick, born in 1863 with horrific deformities, exhibited as a freak at the circus, taken in by Dr. Treves at the London Hospital and subsequently afforded celebrity status. Where the film is based largely on Dr. Treves' memoirs, the opera is based on biographies of Joseph Merrick giving his character a more central focus than in the film.
