Terry Gilliam makes his opera directing debut on 6 May, when The Damnation of Faust opens at ENO.
In the just-released trailer above, he grants a sneak peek at a swastika-plastered sketch pad, the first public whiff of his production concept. Bet he never guessed just how topical that would turn out to be.
He talks more - and most intelligently - about opera in an interview on ENO's website.
