Ades,thomas - Ades: Exterminating Angel (met) - Blu-ray

"If you see one opera this year, make it The Exterminating Angel," ran the headline in the New York Times after the US premiere of Thomas Ads' "stunningly inventive" opera based on Luis Buuel's surreal and satirical 1962 film El ngel exterminador. Like the British composer's score, Tom Cairns' production is both spectacular and surprising. "Ads keeps the listener on edge," wrote Opera magazine, "because one never knows where his dazzling palette of possibilities will take him next."
