Good day: Great news for fans of Vivaldi: there are apparently two movie productions in the works dealing with the Red Priest.
Joseph Fiennes has been cast to play Vivaldi in a version directed by Boris Damast from a script by journalist Steven Freedman. Damast has stated he has set the bar high for himself by wishing to do for Vivaldi what <i>Amadeus</i> did for Mozart, or even better. The 2nd movie is a French production, with Stefano Dionisi (he was the lead in <i>Farinelli</i>. This French production has a website at http://www.vivaldi-lefilm.com/accueil.html#stop Judging from the website, the photography looks stunning. Hard to believe that just 50 years ago, Vivaldi was hardly known to the general classical music listening public. My my, how fickle fate is. Enjoy!
