Orfeo Ed Euridice - Gluck
Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in 1991. According to legend, Orpheus’ magical power as a musician allowed him to regain his wife from the dead, provided they did not look at her on the journey back from Hades - a condition it proved impossible to fulfill. Harry Kupfer in version updated, Orpheus in the leather jacket, trainers and jeans, his Eurydice is killed in a crash on the street.
Succumbing to depression, which languishes in Hades - a psychiatric hospital - before taking his electric guitar to the charm of the best downtown a jungle. Hans Schavernoch has designed a clever set with images projected on screens and rotating mirrors.

when I hear Android as “thing for netbooks”, it makes me smiling… Chrome OS is wise step in sense it will make blow in on netbooks kicking MS & all other closed-sourced crowd. Android is too much lean and mean for that kind of fight.

I have no idea, but the question does serve to highlight the actual nonsense of this type of award. We have, in contention one totally unknown opera by a composer not known for his operas (Albeniz). one unknown opera by a well known opera composer (Donizetti), one repetoire opera sung in English (Humperdinck), one (dare I say it) appealing to a very limited audience (Lully) and one all time favourite (Verdi). Yes, I like a glass of wine, but beer is also good as is water at times. How do you compare?
