Christopher Lee sings opera in Umbracle (1970)

In this rare extract Christopher Lee takes a break mid-way through Pere Portabella's weirdly compelling piece of avant garde obscurantism Umbracle (1970) to do a little something of his own.

Unaccompanied on an empty stage, the erstwhile Dracula sings opera in German and French, then recites from Edgar Allan Poe's poem The Raven. He even explains why.

'Suave' doesn't even begin to describe him... speaker of several languages, actor, singer, writer, even comedian (he was great on SNL!). there just isn't anyone else with this kind of talent in Hollywood anymore.
