CDs: 1
Type: DVD
Subcollection: Biography Movie

This documentary is an intimate look into the story of Doria Manfredi and of her relationship with Puccini, and the opera that came about as a result. “Turandot” tells the story of a local girl that went to work for the Puccinis as a maid. After a few years, Puccini’s wife, Elvira, became convinced that her husband had been having an affair with the young girl. As a result of the rumors she spread, Doria was shunned by the community, and eventually took her own life.

Robert Stevens and Virginia McKenna stars in this Charles Wood film about Puccini. Included is music performed by The Scottish Opera Chorus and Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Sir Alexander Gibson. The film is produced by Simon Channing-Williams. Judith Howarth, Robert Urquhart, Bil Fraser, William Squire, Peter Woodthorpe, Andrew Cruickshank, Phil McCall, Rupert Graves, Ronald Pickup, Linda Esther Gray, Willard White, Eduardo Alvares, Marie Slorach, Alan Okie, Hugh Hetherington, and Gordon Christie also star.

All My Loving? The Films of Tony Palmer is the first book length study of a man who, in a career of over forty years, has directed and produced more than a hundred documentary and theatrical films, directed stage plays and operas, authored books and columns, hosted radio and television programs, and garnered dozens of awards, including multiple Italia Prizes (television’s most coveted award) - “the best director in television,” according to Ken Russell. Palmer takes us backstage to protest-and-acidfueled rock concerts with his friend John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix, glittering Las Vegas shows with Michael Crawford, legendary ballet performances with Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, memorable stage productions with Richard Burton and playwright John Osborne, politically-charged operas with John Adams and Peter Sellars, and music festivals with Benjamin Britten in Aldeburgh, Plácido Domingo in Salzburg, Yehudi Menuhin in London, Maria Callas in Paris and Valery Gergiev in St Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre in Russia. Palmer knew them all.
In the words of renowned film critic and historian David Thomson “Palmer has made an absolutely unique contribution to films about art and music. A genius sitting in our own backyard.”
