Rai3 Shows Some Vick & Opera di Roma <3

Earlier this month we wrote about Graham Vick's new production of Die Entfuhrung for Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, and now Rai3's «Prima della Prima» will feature it tonight (at 1:40am) in a special segment on Mozart's harem-y tale.

All Aboard the SS Entfuehrung: Mozart's Serail on a Yacht

In beautiful Naples Teatro San Carlo presents a new production of Die Entfuehrung aus dem Serail tonight. Director Damiano Michieletto revived Mozart's opera, complete with Pasha Selim's floating harem. Play on, playa. Alexandra Kurzak sings Blonde, Jane Archibald sings Konstanze, and Yi Jie Shi sings Belmonte, and it's conducted by Jeffrey Tate.

We would have liked to see more Emilio Pucci and Fendi resort gear, big Chanel sunglasses & Missoni wraps ...but we'll take the leopard-print & fishnets because hey, this is supposed to be a Turkish harem, not Côte d'Azur.

 

 

 

After the jump, a slightly NSFW close-up and many more pictures from the production...
