Feb '09 Pinocchio DVD

Opera North’s 2008 operatic success The Adventures of Pinocchio, received high acclaim from children, adults and critics alike and is now available to buy on DVD.

Jonathan Dove’s enchanting staging of this 21st century opera, is a wittily inventive feast for the eyes and ears. A full-length, through-composed grand opera with 29 characters, a sizeable chorus and a profound symphonic score, it is overflowing with visual delights, and children will love it!

Opera North’s production, directed by Martin Duncan, shines a bright new light on Collodi's dream-like original story, full of charm, darkness and magic.

Victoria Simmonds stars in the title role of the wooden boy, with Jonathan Summers as Geppetto and Rebecca Bottone as the Cricket. Mastered from the High Definition video recording made at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London in 2008, with true surround sound, this is a chance for children and adults to relive an exhilarating theatre experience at home.
