Igor Stravinsky's adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale has been produced for television in an extraordinary animated interpretation by filmmaker Christian Chaudet. In an updated version of Andersen's tale of a Chinese emperor and the beautiful singing of his treasured nightingale, Stravinsky's vibrant score comes to life as never before in an explosion of computer animation. Featuring the orchestra and choir of the Opéra National de Paris under the direction of James Conlon, the production features the on-screen performances of Natalie Dessay and Laurent Naouri seamlessly interwoven with Chaudet's dazzling visual effects.
