- Synopsis:
From the master animators that brought the three time Emmy Award-winning 'Shakespeare the Animated Tales' to the screen, comes 'Operavox'. Through stunning cell and stop frame animation to oils and elaborate puppetry, this exhilarating series vividly renders some of the world's most beloved operatic compositions, bringing them to life as never before, creating a unique accessibility to traditional opera. Skillfully translated from the full-length works, the half hour adaptations of 'Carmen', 'Rigoletto', 'The Barber Of Seville', 'The Magic Flute', 'Turandot' and 'Rhinegold' fuse traditional animation technology, faultless performance and imaginative storytelling to spellbinding effect. Intricate set designs, wry wit, dazzling character designs of mythic creatures, passionate lovers and extravagant and grandiose courts and courtiers of bygone eras are incorporated into the majestic and enduring compositions of history's finest composers - Bizet, Verdi, Rossini, Mozart, Puccini and Wagner. Featuring one of the world's finest opera companies, the Welsh National Opera, this much loved and acclaimed six part animated series breaks opera free from the confines of the stage and into a new visual dimension. - Actors:
