What would be useful would be if you could number the order of the songs to give some sort of continuity to the plot, I love this fantasy romp through the music of Handel.

Followed your suggestion and numbered the clips. Theres also a playlist with the clips in order ;)

[paulotomaso]

is she lip-synching?

[thecelticinme]

no. she's actually singing.

[paulotomaso]

ok. it looks like this was filmed for television or video, so i didnt know if they would have them sing live on the soundstage, or record it in the studio like in movies. thank you

[thecelticinme]

It is a tv production but I believe it was singing live. I say this for 2 reasons:

1 -- I've got the cd and one can note some light differences in some of the arias;

2 -- For what I could see so far, Dame Kiri is not very good at lip-synching , one could notice.

[Appolonia1964]

LOVE THIS!!!

I recorded this on VHS many years ago when it was on television around X-mas.

But I rerecorded the tape on accident, so I lost it!!!

I have been in many shop with classicalmusic but there is no DVD!!!!! How is this possible????

Please put this on DVD!!!

@paulotomaso She's obviuosly lip-synching, but she's obiously dubbing her own voice, you have to do so when filming for tv or the movies

[romios2003]

t was a production record for the philips cd of that time.

She is singing live on tape, and the tape has bin used for the scene recording.

I did make-up for it with 2 other colleagues.

About the hair it's a wig.

Ravishing.

You are quite right marascar, the Sorceress was a project in the early 90's whereby certain arias from the operas of Handel were put together to form a new "plot".

I thought this was from "Giulio Caesare"...is that right?
