Filmed in Budapest in 2009, the movie is director Kasper Holten’s modernization of Mozart’s work. In an interview with Opera Now, Mr. Holten (music director of Royal Danish Opera) stated that he feels that opera and film are two mediums that can work well together, saying ‘Both art-forms use all means possible to manipulate emotions - and of course in films, the soundtrack often plays a vital role. I think many of the great composers would have worked in film if they had lived today.’
The interinational cast also features Christopher Maltman in the title role, Maria Bengtsson as Anna, Mikhail Petrenko as Leporello, Katija Dragojevic as Zerlina, and others.
