Summary: NYC PRODUCTION Content: SIMPLY PUT THE NYC OPERA PRODUCTION OF "LA RONDINE" WAS WONDERFUL. IT IS A SHAME THERE IS NO DVD OF THE ORIGINAL THAT AIRED SOME TIME AGO WITH ELIZABETH KNIGHTEN. BEVERLEY SILLS CONSIDERED THIS ONE OF HER FAVORITES. THE SECOND ACT WAS LITERALLY, A SHOW STOPPER. ... → Click here to read more reviews.

82.		Verdi - Aida / Wanamaker, Price, Pavarotti, San Francisco Opera Manufacturer: Kultur Video Starring: Margaret Price, Luciano Pavarotti, Stefania Toczyska, Simon Estes, Kurt Rydl Directed By: Brian Large	List Price: $29.99 Our Price: $16.49 You Save: $ 13.50 (45%) Prices subject to change
Summary: Stefania Toczyska - a splendid Amneris. 3.5 stars. Content: Don't get me wrong. This Aida is well worth viewing and having in your collection. Pavarotti is in top form although his Celeste Aida is a notch below the earlier La Scala recording. All through Pavarotti's singing is superb BUT the acting is another matter. ... → Click here to read more reviews.

83.		An Evening With Joan Sutherland & Luciano Pavarotti Manufacturer: Decca Starring: Pavarotti, Sutherland Directed By: Levine	List Price: $29.98 Our Price: $18.59 You Save: $ 11.39 (38%) Prices subject to change
Summary: TWO GREAT SINGERS Content: From the Met, broadcast in 1987. Two great singers a little past their prime, but the Rigoletto Quartet alone makes this DVD worth owning. In the Rigoletto, Dame Joan's voice opens up and is as full, agile, spikey and powerful as it had always ... → Click here to read more reviews.

84.		Humperdinck - Hansel und Gretel (1981) Manufacturer: Deutsche Grammophon Starring: Edita Gruberova, Brigitte Fassbaender, Hermann Prey, Helga Dernesch, Sena Jurinac Directed By: Georg Solti, August Everding	List Price: $29.98 Our Price: $17.98 You Save: $ 12.00 (40%) Prices subject to change
Summary: Musically perfect Content: This is a fantastic video. Great orchestra and a wonderful cast, all conducted with great energy. These performers understand and interpret the music exactly right--perfectly within a great tradition, but not jaded by it. There are more radical productions ... → Click here to read more reviews.

85.		Mozart - Don Giovanni / Furtwangler Manufacturer: Deutsche Grammophon Starring: Otto Edelmann, Elisabeth Grümmer, Cesare Siepi, Dezsõ Ernster, Anton Dermota Directed By: Alfred Travers, Paul Czinner	List Price: $29.98 Our Price: $20.97 You Save: $ 9.01 (30%) Prices subject to change
Summary: Better heard than seen Content: This historic film, remastered with adequate sound, has many things going for it, including first rate voices, a fine set, and an excellent orchestra. (Furtwangler drags the tempo on occasion, but that's a matter of taste.) Visually, the opera is a disaster. ... → Click here to read more reviews.

86.		Puccini - Turandot at the Forbidden City of Beijing / Mehta, Casolla, Larin, Frittoli, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Manufacturer: RCA Starring: Giovanna Casolla, Sergej Larin, Barbara Frittoli, Carlo Colombara, José Fardilha Directed By: Ruth Käch, Hugo Käch	List Price: $34.98 Our Price: $19.78 You Save: $ 15.20 (43%) Prices subject to change
Summary: an ultimate in overall production Content: There is no more spectacular recording of any opera ever made, to my knowledge. The Chinese government got behind it to make it a visual masterpiece, and musical personages from throughout the world flew in to see it. While the vocal artists may have been ... → Click here to read more reviews.

87.		Offenbach - Les contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann) / Pretre, Domingo, Royal Opera Covent Garden Manufacturer: Kultur Video Starring: Plácido Domingo, Luciana Serra, Agnes Baltsa, Ileana Cotrubas, Claire Powell Directed By: Brian Large	List Price: $29.99 Our Price: $16.50 You Save: $ 13.49 (45%) Prices subject to change
Summary: No better than adequate peformance Content: Tales of Hoffman is an opera that even a mediocre performance is enjoyable. I have seen much better performances than this DVD, although for the most part I would rate this one "adequate". Nobody seemed inspired except Domingo, the audio from the 1981 production ... → Click here to read more reviews.

88.		Verdi - Il Trovatore / Levine, Milnes, Marton, Pavarotti, Metropolitan Opera Manufacturer: Deutsche Grammophon Starring: Eva Marton, Dolora Zajick, Luciano Pavarotti, Sherrill Milnes, Jeffrey Wells Directed By: Brian Large	List Price: $29.98 Our Price: $14.99 You Save: $ 14.99 (50%) Prices subject to change
Summary: Il Travatore-Pavarotti-Milnes-Marton-Zakick Content: I have never seen a better Il Travatore, with exciting singing all round and an emphasis on the role of fate. Pavarotti's duets with Dolora Zajick as the old gypsy are among the most affecting scenes in opera. ... → Click here to read more reviews.

89.		Verdi - La Traviata / Gheorghiu, Lopardo, Nucci, Solti, Covent Garden (Special Edition with Highlights CD) Manufacturer: Decca Starring: Angela Gheorghiu, Frank Lopardo, Leo Nucci, Leah-Marian Jones, Gillian Knight Directed By: Humphrey Burton, Peter Maniura	List Price: $29.98 Our Price: $19.99 You Save: $ 9.99 (33%) Prices subject to change
Summary: NOT THE DEFINITIVE TRAVIATA Content: I was hoping for the definitive Traviata and was disappointed. Angela Gheorghiu is an excellent actress, and she more than looks the part. But this is not just a drama, but an opera. She has a naturally beautiful voice, but she has a too-fast, nervous vibrato ... → Click here to read more reviews.

90.		Stravinsky - Oedipus Rex Manufacturer: Philips Starring: Philip Langridge, Jessye Norman, Min Tanaka, Bryn Terfel, Hisako Horikawa Directed By: Julie Taymor, Seiji Ozawa	List Price: $29.98 Our Price: $17.39 You Save: $ 12.59 (42%) Prices subject to change
Summary: didn't work for me Content: The fake heads hovering over the real heads did not work for me -- especially when the camera zoomed onto a real head, partially made-up to look like the costumed body below the fake head. Creon in particular was ludicrous. In ... → Click here to read more reviews.
