Hi again,

Here's a heads up for all you opera(and 3D) buffs.

Recently there was a limited showing of 'Carmen in 3D' starring Christina Rice in the title role at my local dodedaplex. Unfortunately I missed it since I was away tending to a sick member of my family.

That was in March of this year.

Fast forward to now. I was trolling through Play.com's site and found that the film is going to be released towards the latter part of this month(around the 20th, I think). The releasing company--as if I didn't know!--is Opus Arte.

So I should get to see it after all; although I didn't think the content would have been popular enough to warrant such a movie--and in 3D to boot. This, incidentally, will be Opus Arte's first 3D movie.

Logically, since it's the full production(running almost 3 hours!) the content has been spread over two discs--hence the somewhat heftier asking price of £30.99(luckily play.com don't charge p&p otherwise the cost would have been higher). I'm guessing that, since the opera is divided into four acts the middle intermission will be the point at which the first disc will finish.

This is just a head's up for those whose interests are similar to mine. This will definitely be a day 1 purchase for me and, since it's only play.com who have it on their site, I'll be getting it from them.

Now, a couple of questions. First, who is interested in seeing similar content in 3D? Second, why isn't this listed in the forthcoming releases here on this most excellent(usually) of sites?

John.

Edit: Have just ordered the disc(s) from Play.com so, with luck, I'll have it by the end of the month. I'll let you know what I think once I've watched it. John.
