Dorian Gray arcképe + CD
Dorian Gray, a kivételes, lenyűgöző szépségű, romlatlan, fiatal férfi festő barátja otthonában ül modellt. Munka közben megismerkedik Lord Henry Wottonnal. A találkozás a fiú számára végzetesnek bizonyul. A fiú kívánsága, mely szerint a róla festett kép öregedjen, rajta viszont ne látszódjon az idő múlása, valóra válik.
‘A good portrait is a portrait of the artist, not the sitter. I am afraid I show my soul in this painting.’

In front of his beautiful portrait, painted by Hallward, Dorian makes a terrible wish. This wish will come true, dragging Dorian into a world of the senses, of beauty and joy, but also of terror, of fear and ultimately of murder…
