Fedora poster

Released in 1997, Fedora is a music film directed by Brian Large. “Domingo, what else but perfect!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Princess Fedora, who is to marry the Count the following day, arrives and sings of her love for him, unaware that the dissolute Count has betrayed her with another woman. The sound of sleigh-bells is heard, and the Count is brought in mortally wounded. Doctors and a priest are summoned, and the servants are questioned. It is proposed that Count Loris Ipanov, a suspected Nihilist sympathiser, was probably the assassin. De Siriex (a diplomat), and Grech (a police inspector) plan an investigation. Fedora swears on the jewelled Byzantine cross she is wearing that Count Andrejevich's death will be avenged.

Who’s in it. Fedora stars Mirella Freni as Fedora Romazov, Plácido Domingo as Loris Ipanov, Dwayne Croft as De Siriex and Ainhoa Arteta as Olga Sukarev, among others.
