I have seen the original film with those scenes. They are brilliantly filmed but there is no way he would have been able to keep them up on youtube. He removed as little as possible, I see. I applaud that this production has been made available, despite the cuts. To assault someone for providing something wonderful for free is madness. Appreciate what's here or watch the whole thing on Video. Netflix had it, last I checked.

Why would you remove the scene? Shostakovich didn't write it just for fun !

Well done for removing the sex scene, you managed to ruin good music, just like Stalin did :)

Why not remove all the Bb's while you are at it?

@yesiwhore Twice KZfaq warned me for strong sexuality. The last time was about Stanley Kubrick's film "Eyes wide shut". Send your comments to KZfaq. Not to me.

It's a shame that the scenes had to me removed, especially since the music goes too, but he didn't really have a choice. This is posted on KZfaq and they have content restrictions. If you read the second comment on this page, you'd see that he had already been warned twice for videos with sexual content. He didn't censor it for any of our sakes, or because he wanted to, and I'm glad that he's posted as much as he has. Try thinking things through before insulting someone.

Poor Nikolaos !!! As to the sex scenes, if you want the full-on nudity, femal debasement, and anal gang rape scene you can get it in a Dutch version posted on KZfaq. What you deleted is only about 2-3 minutes. While losing the music was a bit disappointing, I didn't feel like I missed much, and filled in the gap with the Dutch scene (those Dutch !!!). What you have is more of a filmed version than a staged version ... and it has English subtitles that are true to the original libretto. Thanks so much for posting this.

Could you please tell me where I can find the integral movie?

with the scenes you also removed the music. i think that is a pity!

have the various people who insulted nikolaos now apologised to him, having read his explanation of why he had to remove the sex scenes?

If I’m not wrong the removed scene is from rehearsal mark 72 to 90, right? I’ll go jump to another production just to hear that part…

Can anyone please tell me the year when this movie was released, and its director. I'm preparing to perform in this opera and I need the complete video with the sex scene. Thank you

En estos tiempos no pense qué alguien podría ser tan idiota y censurar el arte !!!

YOU? edited this great piece? Why did you even bother to post it?

what you mean you removed the sexual scenes?!?! haha

@SisifosGR Φίλε είχα ανεβάσει τη πιο τρομερή σκηνή, από το Μάτια ερμητικά κλειστά του Κιούμπρικ και το ΥΤ με προειδοποίησε πως αν ξανακάνω αταξία, μάλλον θα χάσω το κανάλι μου...Ενοχλούνται κάποιοι ανέραστοι, αν δουν κάποια γυναικεία βυζιά. "Τί χάνω" θα λένε. Υποφέρουν...
