Conceived as both epic and intimate drama, the score fuses vast orchestral forces with ardent lyricism to tell the story of Aeneas’s voyage and Dido’s tragic destiny. As one of the pinnacles of 19th‑century French music, Berlioz’s work explores themes of duty, love and the founding of a new order, demanding exceptional stamina and dramatic subtlety from singers and orchestra alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis filmed performance captures the Salzburger Festspiele production of 2000, staged, designed and costumed by Herbert Wernicke and conducted by Sylvain Cambreling. The presentation features the Orchestre de Paris and the Salzburger Kammerphilharmonie with chorus preparation by Donald Palumbo, and a commanding principal cast: Jon Villars (Aeneas), Deborah Polaski as Dido\/Kassandra, Russell Braun (Chorébus), Robert Lloyd (Narbal), Tigran Martirossian (Pantheus), Ilya Levinsky (Iopas) and Gaele Le Roi (Ascanio). Director Alexandre Tarta records Wernicke’s imaginative visual concept, which balances mythic scale with human immediacy, while Cambreling’s reading emphasizes the score’s color and dramatic momentum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented as a 2‑DVD set (running time 237 minutes) with PCM Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and a 16:9 picture format, this release offers an accessible document of a rarely staged epic. Executive producer François Duplat brings this festival production to the screen for aficionados and newcomers alike, providing a vivid reference for Berlioz’s towering achievement and for students of operatic production, performance practice and 19th‑century musical nationalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Arthaus Musik \/ Bel Air Media","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51322812432662,"sku":"130350","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/2026325161537815scan.jpg?v=1779090342","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/les-troyens-2-disc-set-w-booklet","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
