Ciro in Babilonia(2012)
Ciro in Babilonia Synopsis
The Biblical story of Belshazzar's hubristic arrogance, set against the valour of the young warrrior-leader Cyrus, provided the 20-year-old Rossini with a dramatic story enriched by West-Eastern implications which still speak to us today. For the title role of Cyrus, Rossini wrote what would be his longest-ever contralto role, to which the great Rossini singer Ewa Podles´ is both naturally attracted and ideally suited. She is partnered by two young stars of Rossini singing, Jessica Pratt and Michael Spyres, and a conductor-scholar, Will Crutchfield, of great experience and sympathy. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
Ciro in Babilonia (2012) is a music film directed by Davide Livermore, released on July 19, 2012 with a runtime of 2h 45m. It stars Michael Spyres, Ewa Podleś, Jessica Pratt and Carmen Romeu.
