Relatives of a recently deceased wealthy man enlist the help of a wise man to help them inherit the dead man's properties.

Dynamic are proud to present, for the first time on Blu-ray, Rossini’s La Gazza Ladra ‘The Thieving Magpie’ recorded at the prestigious Rossini Opera Festival in 2007 (standard DVD release 33567). The stage is set in modern times and the whole story is presented as the dream of a young girl who plays the role of the magpie. The brilliant, rousing overture was made famous thanks to the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick’s motion picture “A Clockwork Orange”.

A staging of Puccini's opera "Madama Butterfly" by Fabio Ceresa. Recorded at the Opéra de Rennes.
