A strong British cast was marshalled by the baton of Robin Ticciati, who has already won golden opinions for his opera conducting. Richard Jones's production focuses on the fisherman as the outsider in a brutal society, cut off by mutual suspicion and misunderstanding: an unforgettable production of an opera that never loses its power.Running time: 168 minutesSubtitles: EN/FR/DE/JP/KRSound format: 2.0LPCM + 5.1(5.0) DTS
