Ambroise Thomas' musically and dramatically virtuosic adaptation of the classic story follows Hamlet in his pursuit to avenge his father's murder.
Known for Ophelia's hauntingly beautiful mad scene, "Et maintenant ecoutez ma chanson," this dazzling production by Thaddeus Strassberger brings Shakespeare's famous play to life. The opera is conducted by WNO's General Director Placido Domingo. -- www.dc-opera.org
