  • Tristan und Isolde

    Take a perfect cast, a great conductor and a groundbreaking staging in-out makes a ‘Tristan’ for eternity. The 1983 performance in Bayreuth was a great moment for the world of opera. The ensemble performance of René Kollo, Johanna Meier and Matti Salminen with, then as now the Wagner admirer, Daniel Barenboim conducting the Bayreuth orchestra inspired singers and instrumentalists to peak performance. Jean-Pierre Ponnelle created a dream-beautiful stage.

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

    This is an extremely rare example of science fiction, Hong Kong style, but, fittingly, it’s unlike any sci-fi flick you’ve ever seen. Alien abductions, suicide pacts, superstardom, and the reality of science fiction itself is spotlighted in this bright, crazy, truly out of this world epic — one of the more unusual movies in the Hong Kong cinema of the early 1980s. And if you know 80’s Hong Kong cinema at all, you know that’s really saying something!

  • Eddie and the Cruisers
