Verdi - Giovanna D'arco - Dunn/ La Scola Movie
Stage and television director Werner Herzog, one of the most highly acclaimed German film makers of all time, joins forces with the great Italian conductor Riccardo Chailly for this stunning production of Verdi's rarely-performed opera, the story of the Maid of Orleans. The production, which was filmed in 1990, stars the great Italian baritone Renato Bruson as Giacomo, the American soprano Susan Dunn as Giovanna and Vincenzo La Scola as the Dauphin. The magnificent Teatro Comunale di Bologna provides an intimate yet ornate setting for this production, which involves spectacular scenes of alternating light and dark, with pageantry alongside personal drama.
