Where's Cecil Beaton when you need him. When you have the greatest singers of the last half of the 20th century, Nilsson and Corelli, you don't need all this excess! The Met has toned this production down shortly after this broadcast. This production is so busy I hardly even noticed the singing. You'll find every thing you need on the stage but a basket ball court.

2.The Berlin Concert - Live from Waldbuhne starring: Rolando Villazon, Anna Netrebko, Placido Domingo, Marco Armiliato April 10, 2007

This was a great concert with many beautiful arias and all three Superstars gave memorable performances. It is a "must have" for opera afficionados. Anna, as usual, is a joy to listen and watch.

3.Verdi - Aida / Levine, Domingo, Millo, Metropolitan Opera starring: Aprile Millo, Plácido Domingo, Dolora Zajick, Sherrill Milnes, Paata Burchuladze directed by: Brian Large December 12, 2000

This DVD recording of "Aida" is a feast for the eyes and the ears! Even though it's from a few years ago, the voices are outstanding and the recording clear and up to date. This is my favorite opera of all time and this DVD really does it justice. I recommend it highly!

I have been waiting for a long time to replace my VHS with a DVD hoping the price would come down a little more. What a mistake! The DVD is crisp, sharp, and clear. The sound is fantastic, even God must have felt a little humble that night in 1990 at Caracalla. In an age of celebrity for celebrities sake, that much talent on the stage all at one time is breathtaking. Four of the most talented people in the world, what a thrill. If you are debating this purchase wait no longer, even if you have seen it a hundred times, this DVD will please you over and over.

6.Leoncavallo - I Pagliacci / Mascagni - Cavalleria Rusticana / Domingo, Stratas, Pons, Bruson, Obraztsova, Pretre starring: Teresa Stratas, Plácido Domingo, Juan Pons, Alberto Rinaldi (III), Florindo Andreolli directed by: Franco Zeffirelli June 14, 2005

I rented this opera and loved it so much that had to purchase it. The singing and acting is wonderful and I wasn't that familar with this opera before I saw it, but have watched it three times since. The music is haunting. Absolutly loved it.

7.Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera starring: Plácido Domingo, Renée Fleming, James Morris (IX), Jane Bunnell, Richard Croft (II) directed by: Brian Large April 13, 2004

This is probably the best "Otello" on DVD. Placido Domingo has some moments in which his voice sounds forced, particularly in "Si, pel ciel", but on the whole, the production is excellent, with great, exciting conducting by James Levine, a very good and believable Iago in James Morris, and a really good Cassio and Emilia. The true star of the production, however, is Renee Fleming, who is simply spectacular as Desdemona. She sings like an angel, with wonderful expression and some ravishing pianissimi. Definitely the best Desdemona I've ever heard. The staging is very lush and the costumes gorgeous, but I really can't understand why the old Met production, which was beautiful, wasn't kept on for a few more years. I'm sure there are other Met productions far more in need of updating.

8.Puccini - Tosca / Kabaivanska, Domingo, Milnes, Luccardi, Mariotti, Bartoletti starring: Raina Kabaivanska, Plácido Domingo, Sherrill Milnes, Giancarlo Luccardi, Alfredo Mariotti directed by: Gianfranco De Bosio June 14, 2005

If you don't mind a movie version of an opera, then this is a great production to enjoy. It takes place in the actual spots designated in the libretto and is very realistic even though the characters are singing instead of speaking. The costumes are beautiful and very authentic. The singers were all in their prime physically and vocally and give powerful performances. Since it was edited, there are no intermissions which gives the opera a strong build-up to the final scene. I certainly was caught up in the intrigue even though I've seen the opera many times.

9.Puccini - Madama Butterfly starring: Mirella Freni, Plácido Domingo, Christa Ludwig, Robert Kerns, Michel Sénéchal directed by: Jean-Pierre Ponnelle June 14, 2005

From the David Belasco play to Puccini's opera to Schonberg's Miss Saigon, there are many faces of Madame Butterfly. But none is any more exquisite than that of Mirella Freni-- especially as she sings the near-perfect aria, "Un bel di" and the Flower Song duet with Suzuki. However, Ponnelle, who staged and directed the film version, made Placido Domingo as Lt. Pinkerton a little too caddish for my taste. This version seems to resemble a faded memory that speaks not to the intellect but to the heart. It certainly deserves a place in any opera collection.
