My journey with opera began when my grandma, an opera lover herself, started telling me about this video tape she had. It was a collection of arias each animated by a different European production company. A cousin of mine, who was a couple of years old at the time, was in love with it. The video was Opera Imaginaire
My favorite has always been The Flower Duet from Lakme. The voices give me a sensation of moving up and spinning, like leaves swirling in the wind. The animation I think portrays that feeling well, with very smooth, liquid, mesmerizing movements.
Fortunately for all of us, someone posted (most of) it on YouTube. Here, The Flower Duet from Lakme. (Film by Pascal Roulin.)
