With its virtuosic arias, stunning ensembles and vivid orchestration – with the colourful addition of the newly invented saxophone – Thomas composed one of the most successful operas in the French repertoire. This is further enhanced by director Cyril Teste’s multi-layered production, reinstating its powerful original ending, and including cinematic techniques to create ‘a very palpable hit’ (bachtrack.com).","brand":"Naxos AudioVisual","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":49705763209496,"sku":"747313564057","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3731016-2499686.jpg?v=1777562994","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/thomas-hamlet-2","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
