DVD TDK OPCARLOS

TDK presents the world première DVD recording of the unabridged version of Don Carlos at the Vienna State Opera, in a staging by the world-renowned German director Peter Konwitschny. This staging in its unabridged version remains true to Giuseppe Verdi’s original vision of his grand opera, when it was premiered in Paris in 1867. However, during the rehearsals it soon became clear that Don Carlos would not fit within the convention of duration, and Verdi was forced, against his will, to make cuts. It was not until October 2004 that his original work – without cuts and sung in the original French - received its world première. • Led by French conductor Bertrand de Billy, the singers were hailed by audience and critics. The international cast were all renowned soloists on the world’s opera stages and also long-term stalwarts of the Vienna Opera: the Mexican Tenor Ramón Vargas in the title role, the Danish baritone Bo Skovhus as the Marquis de Posa, the Georgian soprano Iano Tamar as Elisabeth, the German-born mezzo Nadja Michael as Eboli, and English bass Alastair Miles, as Philip II.
