"It didn't fit any of the rules." Thus does Hans Sachs contemplate at his leisure the new song by Stolzing, which provides the autobiographical key to Wagner's great comic opera. This DVD features a performance of Otto Schenk's traditionalist 1993 production at the Met. The performance was filmed live in December 2001. A beaming James Levine clearly enjoys himself in the orchestra pit as he commences the opening prelude, and that smile of joy is prevalent throughout the following 290 minutes. The glorious sound of his orchestra and the perfect phrasing are a joy to hear. The cast are superb. James Morris as the hero Sachs is indescribably flawless; Thomas Allen is equally so as the prim and officious Beckmesser, and ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Fedora - Giordano [1997] starring: Mirella Freni, Placido Domingo, Metropolitan Opera Chorus, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Roberto Abbado September 13, 2004		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£19.59 You Save: £0.40 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£10.50
This is one of the finest Opera productions available on DVD. Fedora may not be an Operatic masterpiece, but this is really a star performance of this work. Mirella Freni is a memorable Fedora singing and acting the role with great emotion in spite of her years. The same is true of Placido Domingo, still in excellent voice but somewhat aged on stage. The rest of the cast ranges from very good to excellent. Roberto Abbado is a very brusque and accurate conductor, keeping very good pace throughout the entire score. The producer Beppe de Tomasi has given us a real visual feast both in terms of colour and dramatic movement, with a true respect for the score, faithful to the story down to the last detail. The sets and the costumes are truly excellent. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	L'Elisir D'Amore starring: Luciano Pavarotti, Kathleen Battle, Juan Pons, Korliss Vecker, Metropolitan Opera Chorus March 09, 1993		Used Price: Â£2.45
This performance, despite the first-class singing especially by Kathleen Battle, was ruined for me by the completely inappropriate appearnce of Pavarotti who looks more like the wild man of Borneo than a young village swain. There are plenty of first class tenors who could more appopriately have been chosen to sing Nemorino. Alternatively, an actor could have mimed Pavarotti's off-stage voice. Either alternative would have been preferable. As it is Pavarotti's grotesque form dominates many of the scenes rendering them risible. >>More Details
