A companion piece to the widely acclaimed Melba Recordings CD, Amoureuse, MASSENET: HIS LIFE AND MUSIC traces the life and work of Jules Massenet (1842-1912), the most successful and popular composer in Europe during his lifetime. Narrated by the distinguished Massenet expert, conductor Richard Bonynge, this beautiful documentary features over a dozen interviews with world authorities on Massenet, including Rodney Milnes, Graham Johnson, Thomas Hampson, Anne Bessand-Massenet, Dame Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge, filmed on location in London, Paris, Rome, Brussels, Montreux and Sydney. "His operas are so wonderfully crafted, the surface is so brilliant and so seductive that people don't actually bother to look what's underneath that surface to see the extraordinary psychological penetration in his portrayal of his characters." Rodney Milnes (Editor, Opera Magazine).
