Ads: The Exterminating Angel (MET)(Blu-Ray)

Description “If you see one opera this year, make it The Exterminating Angel,” ran the headline in the New York Times after the US premiere of Thomas Adès’ “stunningly inventive” opera based on Luis Buñuel’s surreal and satirical 1962 film El ángel exterminador.

Like the British composer’s score, Tom Cairns’ production is both spectacular and surprising.

“Adès keeps the listener on edge,” wrote Opera magazine, “because one never knows where his dazzling palette of possibilities will take him next.” Product information Run time ‎2 hours and 22 minutes Number of discs ‎1 Media Format ‎Blu-ray Language ‎English (PCM 2.0 Stereo), English (DTS 5.1) Actors ‎Thomas Adès Studio ‎Warner Classics Release date ‎February 22, 2019 ASIN ‎B07KBT4XXG Customer Reviews 4.6 out of 5 stars 300Reviews Additional Information Best Sellers Rank: #69,861 in Movies & TV (#21,739 in Blu-ray)
