(1)Lego Beauty and the Beast Act 1 by Philip Glass

Beauty and the Beast, or La Bella et La Bete- its actual title, is a work by the American composer, Philip Glass. His original work was intended to be performed as a sound track to the 1949 black and white movie by Jean Cocteau.

In keeping with the style of the movie, Lego Beauty and the Beast tries to stay true to the original ideas behind the opera.. with its own unique twists. I hope you enjoy this movie broken up into 3 youtube friendly acts.

Hearing an opera in my native language is so awkward hahaha

How much time does it take you to make one of these?? It's amazing! I sure hope you continue to lego-fy more operas. You're a genius!

I cant get to the second part! :(

a question to cocteau specialists: did he see any of the universal horror films, especially "the wolfman"? i ask because the beast's make-up bears a marked similarity to the wolf-man's by jack pierce.

Second part?

I saw the PGE do this live in Madison Wisconsin around 20 years ago. When Glass came out to take a bow at the end, the audience erupted!

This is my favourite movie of 2008 certainly.

I love your mistranslations, the aesthetic and you've done a great job of editing down the score.

Nice! Thanks for the help. For the snow that I use, I use that fake "erupting" snow (add water and it looks like snow after it "erupts". But I could never figure out how to do trees.
