About Verdi: Don Carlos
Luc Bondy's 1996 production of Don Carlos was staged, recorded and filmed at the Chatelet in Paris. These seven performances were blessed with an all-star cast, loaded with important singers either starting their careers (Roberto Alagna) or at the height of their dramatic powers (Karita Mattila, Jose Van Dam.)
Directed by Yves-André Hubert, Luc Bondy, Verdi: Don Carlos leans on a strong ensemble — Roberto Alagna, Thomas Hampson, José van Dam — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1996.
