Starring Angela Gheorghiu as the celebrated French actress Adriana Lecouvreur and Jonas Kaufmann as her lover Maurizio, Count of Saxony, Cilea’s verismo drama explores celebrity, romance, jealousy, and death. 　　The trio of sublime voices is completed by Russian mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina as Adriana’s jealous rival, the Princess de Bouillon. 　　David McVicar’s hit production – the first performance of the opera at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for more than a century – presents the life of the French actress as a blurring of the distinction between fantasy and reality. 　　The action revolves around a life-size Baroque Theatre, taking us from the bustle and colour of the first act backstage at the playhouse, to the bare final scenes as the drama reaches its fatal climax. 　　The DVD & Blu-ray contain bonus footage featuring interviews with the principal artists, Director, Set Designer and Conductor. 　　Artists 　　Angela Gheorghiu (Adriana), Jonas Kaufmann (Maurizio), Olga Borodina (La principessa di Bouillon), Alessandro Corbelli (Michonnet), David Soar (Quinault), Iain Paton (Poisson), Janis Kelly (Mademoiselle Jouvenot), Sarah Castle (Mademoiselle Dangeville), Maurizio Muraro (Principe di Bouillon), Bonaventura Bottone (Abbé de Chazeuil) 　　Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Sir Mark Elder (conductor) & David McVicar (stage director)

Dir. Andy Kimpton Nye/UK 2004/VIDEO/60 mins + screening with a surprise short! 　　 　　Made with the co operation of Jarman's sister and closest collaborators Christopher Hobbs & Tilda Swinton, this documentary will make you want to see Derek's films all over again or start making your own Jarmanesque masterpieces. With plenty of surprises... from Tariq Azi's revelation of a gay tribe in Pakistan to Jarman's insistence that you only need 32 sequences to make a movie, this is a timely celebration of the life of an artist whose death from AIDS ten years ago marked the end of radical British art cinema. It also includes, naturally, the best bits of Sebastiane!
