Notes & Reviews:

This is a BLU-RAY disc and it will not play on a standard DVD player. A standard DVD is available as CME 702008. For Handel's Admeto, Oscar-nominated film director Doris Dorrie - winner of the 2009 Edinburgh International Festival's prestigious Herald Angel Award - returns to her beloved subject of Japan. In vividly colored and brilliantly realized set pieces, one of Handel's most popular operas receives a stunning transformation into the stylishly ritualized world of samurai culture.
