    May we hope for a prompt release by Opus Arte of Metamorphosis:Titian?

    I do so agree with Patrick Shaw (above) and hope that there will be an Opus Arte release of the 'Metamorphosis' triple bill performances. As it was distributed widely on the 'Big Screen' presentation it will, hopefully, not be too big a problem. Incidentally ,the same goes for other 'Live' productions which the ROH has projected.

      We have checked with Opus Arte and, unfortunately, there are no plans for a release of Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 on DVD.

    The Opus Arte Web Site has had a "new website coming soon" notice for some months now. They do not reply to emails and I have been unable to discover news of any future releases, let alone Titan 2012. Is the company defunct?

      Dear David

      I've forwarded your message to the Opus Arte team and I'm sure that somebody will be in touch with you soon.

      There is an exciting slate of new releases planned, and the relaunched website will hopefully be available to showcase these soon.

      I do know, however, that there are no plans at present to release Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 on DVD, although I am not aware of the reasons for this.

      Best wishes

      Ellen
