Orphea in Love
Orphea in Love, now, fuses many of these diverse forays for a singular piece of musical theatre cinema. Structurally a musical or operetta, it features famous opera tunes paired with modern classical ballet choreographies. Befittingly, the title might insinuate a version of Jacques Offenbach's 1858 Orphée aux enfers (we have that somewhere else in the programme, though!), but the story of young, multi-job hassled Nele, her dream of opera stardom, and her love for dancer Kolya feels in its razzmatazzy mix of realism and kitsch simultaneously closer to Flashdance (1983; Adrian Lyne) and the average Lady Gaga music video. Wow. WOW!
Starring Mirjam Mesak, Guido Badalamenti, Ursina Lardi, Christina Große, Ursula Werner, Heiko Pinkowski, Galeano Salas, Levy Sekgapane, Hardy Schwetter, Tim Oliver Schultz
It's a drama and music movie, and has a rating of 6.8 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
