An extended documentary about the recently-discovered opera by Shostakovich, 'Orango'. It features interviews with Esa-Pekka Salonen, who premièred the work, Gerard McBurney, who orchestrated the work, and Irina Brown, who is directing the Philharmonia Orchestra's semi-staged production and European Premiere taking place at the Royal Festival Hall in London in May 2013.
