Description
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 Qu?®b?®cois 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.
