Customer Review: I have been thrilled seeing Florez in operas, his voice is powerful and pure; his acting ability is unmatchable. But his CD's are produced very purely. He sings too loud, it is not pleasing to the ear. I have seen audiences move Florez to tears with ovations; he is amazing. But the people who... more info
Customer Review: It is an excellent presentation of Massenet's opera Manon. Of course, the dream cast of Natalie Dessay and Rolando Villazon contributes enormously to the enjoyment of this DVD. The production is first-class and depicts the life of these women, who are paid for by wealthy suiters, more realistically... more info
Customer Review: My wife and I saw Ms.Dessay perform Lucia at the Paris Opera in a non-traditional production. We thought it was fabulous, but the DVD of her performance at the Met in a traditional staging may be even better. Although there are a few misses in her singing,the overall effect leaves you in tears. The... more info
Customer Review: I had enthusiastically looked forward to this live HD transmission and attended the performance at a local movie theatre. While there is much to enjoy in this version, the shortcomings left me with an overall lukewarm impression. A big disappointment for me was the transposition of Rudolfo's... more info
Customer Review: I will admit to having some doubts about this performance before viewing it. First, several years ago, I gave a glowing review to the DVD and CD of the performance under Solti, finding Angela Gheorghiu to be the definitive Violetta. Second, I have been less than satisfied with some of Renee... more info
Customer Review: Buy it...it is beautiful Only note...Amazon says that Renee Fleming is "in" this production...and she is, but only as an interviewer at the intermissions with Anna.
Customer Review: This dvd was my first experience of the entire opera and I must say the music is serviceable if forgettable and naturally requires some awesome singers. Everyone in the cast is fully into their roles and you can't fault the acting, the tenor as others have noted, completely inhabiting his character... more info
Customer Review: What a shame that the only existing DVD of Juan Diego Florez in one of his signature roles is in this wrong-headed "Don Pasquale." Wrong-headed because once again we have an opera director for whom restraint seems to be a four-letter word. Yes, this is opera buffa, but as anyone who has seen a... more info
Customer Review: Do not hesitate to buy this DVD. It is worth every dollar. The four singers really stand out, Netrebko with her angel-like voice, Vargas with a wonderful tenor voice, Garanca as a colorful mezzo and Tezier as a brilliant baritone. Each and every aria are outstandingly sung and when the four of them... more info
