Charles Workman - Polo Sarah Castle - Marco Stephen Richardson - Kublai Khan Netherlands Chamber Orchestra Pierre Audi - stage director Opus Arte 2009, 2 DVD, Playing Time: 156 min. DVD, 16:9 Anamorphic. Sottotitoli in Inglese, Francese, Tedesco, Spagnolo, Italiano, Olandese. In Marco Polo, an opera within an opera, composer Tan Dun portrays the Venetian explorer?s travels to the Far East as a journey of both inner and physical discovery, a voyage depicting spiritual experiences as well as a geographical expedition. At the same time the work, on a libretto by Paul Griffiths, can be seen as a compositional adventure of the composer himself, unifying the various cultural worlds he occupies: a blend of Western avant garde and Oriental traditions. Pierre Audi?s mythical staging and Jean Kalmans fabulous set design complement the composers own musical direction, forging the dazzlingly versatile soloists, the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra and Capella Amsterdam to a stunning symbiosis of elements across time and space, a true testimony to cultures intertwined in globalisation. Extra features: Illustrated Synopsis. Cast gallery. Documentary: 'The Music of Tomorrow' - including interviews with the creative team and principle cast members.
