Night on Bald Mountain - Fantasia (1940)

[thebarroomortheboy]

The Night On Bald Mountain sequence was cut from the film when originally released on video. When the sequence was shown in 1940 the studio was overrun with calls and letters from parents who complained that the sequence scared their children. It has since been restored to its original place in the film on subsequent home video releases.

Okay, everyone on Operablr needs to drop what they're doing and watch the Dutch National Opera's recent production of Modest Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov while it's still streaming on OperaVision (for free! on YouTube! with no VPN required!). It is MIND-BLOWINGLY good, from the stunning visuals, to the excellent singers, to the use of a fantastic narrator character who's been added into the weave of the opera; and, being the brainchild of Kirill Serebrennikov, it tells a very chillingly recognizable story about the abuse of political power in our modern world. Even if you *think* you don't like Regietheater, it's still absolutely worth checking out. Plus, I dare you not to snort with laughter at least once over the frankly brilliant concept in which the (no longer very) Polish Scene between the Pretender and Marina Mniszech is couched.

Heads up that one scene does include nudity within the context of a sexual encounter, so please bear that in mind, if watching in a public context or at work or around people who might be sensitive to such staging!
