Mozart's Marriage of Figaro is a comedy whose dark undertones explore the blurred boundaries between dying feudalism and emerging Enlightenment. Herman Prey's Figaro is admirably sung in a firm baritone and aptly characterized. So too, is his antagonist, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as the Count perpetually frustrated by the scheming wiles of Figaro and Susanna, here the perky Mirella Freni, who sings and acts like a dream. The Countess is creamy-voiced Kiri Te Kanawa, and the Cherubino, Maria Ewing, looks just like the horny, teenaged page she's supposed to be. The all-star leads are complemented by worthy supporting singers, the Vienna Philharmonic at the top of its form, and the experienced Mozartian, Karl Böhm conducting a stylishly fleet performance. close

The historical film “Henry VIII” (Henry VIII) is another film version of the story about the life of the king of England, who ruled in the 16th century.
Henry VIII was in power for 38 years. The main reform carried out by Henry was the rejection of the submission of the English Church to the Pope, as a result of which an independent Anglican Church appeared. Opponents of Henry’s rejection of Catholicism argued that it was because the pope did not allow him to divorce his first wife. Indeed, an independent English bishop was appointed, who gave the go-ahead for divorce. But it is unlikely that the king of England needed anyone’s official permission, he had 6 wives, and a couple of times, without resorting to the formalities of divorce, executed his wives, thereby paving the way for the next wedding.
The role of the king in the film "Henry VIII" was played by Ray Winston ( "The Departed". close
