Conveying a sense of the intense work that goes into each dance production, the film also represents a new initiative highlighting filmmakers from Quebec’s immigrant community: for this first edition, the two laureates were directors Gabriela de Andrade and Alexandre Paskanoi.

Confessions to dEUS

Fleur Boonman interweaves the cinematographic impression of the 2019 'Ideal Crash' tour with a look back at 20 years of ideals and 'crashes' of the fans. Her uninhibited perspective, poetic imagery and experience as a psychologist provide added value. The pace of the film follows the rhythm of the album, while the narrative is the record itself. The meandering search for interfaces between the theme of each song and the emotional stories of the ups and downs in the fans' lives, enables the viewer their own perspective.

"Beethoven Reloaded" brings the composer's inexhaustible potential to everyone, from interested laymen to musical specialists, with a fresh perspective. The essential biographical facts, political convictions and the musical and historical context of Beethoven form the central theme of a multifaceted portrait.

The Human Voice: A Story for Our Times

The Human Voice is a contemporary adaptation of the 1928 stage play by Jean Cocteau, and "La Voix Humaine," the 1958 chamber opera by Francis Poulenc. In a radically new production The Human Voice presents a flip of gender, and a metaphor of global pandemic. Now in English, Isaiah Bell sings to his male lover, and into the abyss of COVID. In a Zoom call impaired by lag and freeze and dropped signals, technology is once again enemy to intimacy. The agony of failed love is heightened by the necessity of distance, by the anaesthetic of the machine.

Antonio Pappano conducts a stellar cast of singers in favourite arias, duets and choruses from operas by Rossini, Donizetti and Puccini, along with the thrilling finale of Bizet’s Carmen. Italian baritone Vito Priante offers haircuts as the Barber of Seville, and Lisette Oropesa dazzles with her flawless soprano coloratura before being joined by American tenor Charles Castronovo for some heartwarming comedy in Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love. Mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina starts out as Cinderella celebrating her good fortune and then magically transforms into femme fatale Carmen for the tragic finale of Bizet’s great opera. The drama increases with Kristine Opolais singing the role of doomed diva Tosca, with Canadian baritone Gerald Finley joining her for the searing Te Deum from Puccini’s masterpiece. The chorus and orchestra of the Royal Opera House are arrayed throughout the stalls of the fabulous auditorium at Covent Garden to maintain social distancing. Presented by Katie Derham.
