Harry Chapin - Sniper
Posted by: jdewbre

Video duration: 586 seconds

Harry Chapin sings "Sniper" in his 1975 appearance on PBS Soundstage. The song is about the 1966 University of Texas massacre perpetrated by Charles Whitman, and is told from Whitman's perspective. This is one of Chapin's most dynamic and powerful filmed performances.

Posted by: jdewbre

Video duration: 577 seconds

The trial scene the 1983 Great Performances version of "Alice In Wonderland," directed by Kirk Browning and starring Kate Burton as Alice. It's remarkably faithful to the book. My all-time favorite line is Austin Pendleton screaming "HE STOLE THOSE TARTS!"

The Tales Of Hoffmann - Doll's Song (w/t Moira Shearer)
Posted by: jdewbre

Video duration: 339 seconds

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1951 version of Jacques Offenbach's opera Les Contes d'Hoffmann is as much about dancing as it is about music. Dorothy Bond sings Les Oiseaux Dans La Charmille (in English) while the gorgeous Moira Shearer dances. (I have a huge crush on Moira Shearer, due in no small part to her being featured in this movie.)

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1951 version of Jacques Offenbach's opera Les Contes d'Hoffmann is as much about dancing as it is about music. This ballet takes place at the beginning of the film, and features the incomparable Moira Shearer as Stella.

$The Tales Of Hoffmann - Antonia\$

The Tales Of Hoffmann - Antonia's Tale Finale
Posted by: jdewbre

Video duration: 353 seconds

For some reason this is my favorite part of the opera, when Dr. Miracle presents Antonia with a hallucination of her mother and convinces her to sing herself to death. From Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1951 version of Jacques Offenbach's opera Les Contes d'Hoffmann. Ann Ayars is Antonia, Joan Alexander is Antonia's mother, Bruce Dargavel is Dr. Miracle.

Posted by: jdewbre

Video duration: 342 seconds

Meryl Streep and the rest of the cast sing "Eating Mushrooms" (appropriate enough for an adaptation of the Alice stories) and perform an interpretation of "Jabberwocky" in the New York Shakespeare Festival production of Elizabeth Swados' "Alice At The Palace" (1981). Look out for Rodney Hudson, Michael Jeter, Betty Aberlin and Mark Linn-Baker among the sea of faces.

Meryl Streep stars as Alice in this New York Shakespeare Festival Production of Elizabeth Swados' "Alice At The Palace" from 1981. I don't particularly care for this version of the Alice stories but if it looks interesting to you, I'm sure Kultur video would love to sell you a DVD copy.

Tales Of Hoffmann - Legend Of Kleinzach (w/t Moira Shearer)
Posted by: jdewbre

Video duration: 234 seconds

I think everybody who has ever seen Jacques Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann has probably said to themselves at one point, "what the Kleinzach aria needs is an actual dancing troll." Well, the Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1951 film version of the opera has one. Enjoy. (Aria sung [in English] by Robert Rounseville.)
