UK distributor Electric Sky will handle TV and non theatric sales for the recently recorded Opus Arte/Brighton TV co-production of Romeo and Juliet at the world-famous Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London.
The Brighton based distributor of opera and ballets has filmed Dominic Dromgoole's vision of the Bard's most famous tragedy in association with Opus Arte.
Starring Ellie Kendrick and Adetomiwa Edun in the title roles, this new production has been released to great critical acclaim. Fresh, youthful and cheeky performances, incredible stage-fights and the most spectacular of London's theatrical venues, make for an amazing production.
Also new to the slate is L'elisir d'amore. Conducted by Maurizio Benini, this comic opera starring Peter Auty and Ekaterina Siurina, was filmed in August 2009, the 75th anniversary year of the world-famous Glyndebourne Opera House. Witty and charming, this is Italian opera at its intoxicating best. No wonder L'elisir d'amore has long been among Donizetti's most popular works.
