At last the DVD I have waited so long for. 1983, Dimitrova was at the height of her substantial powers. This very traditional Verona Arena production has come up well on DVD, the sound far superior to the vhs version. At this time there were another two or three Turandots to see, so they would have you believe. Marton was excellent and she can be found from the Met or Vienna. Unfortunately Dimitrova was never filmed in the excellent Covent Garden production, they showed Gwyneth Jones but never released it on VHS or DVD............... Good support from the rest of the cast and a fine Liu from Gasdia. Sadly Dimitrova is no longer with us and it is a shame we only have a small selection of what she achieved on stage. These days they turn ... Read More:

What is opera? An opera is a staged dramatic work that is set to music where the words are entirely or primarily sung. This definition may imply that the visual element is predominant to the uninitiated. Whilst this is important, an opera is so much more. Opera lives and dies by the music that accompanies the drama on stage. Where the words alone are sad, the music throws it into a whole other dimension making it heart wrenchingly poignant. If the words stir thought then the music aims straight for the soul and instinctive comprehension. And so to this Aida that La Scala (thankfully) preserved for posterity. Surely it is one to hold up as a standard for it is beautifully sung by the principles and sympathetically backed up by the ... Read More:

This production of Nabucco has some faults. I realise Nabucco is a different style of opera than almost all of Verdi's operas that follow it. I think it's main claim to fame is some of the most beautiful music Verdi ever wrote. The main faults I found were in costuming, make-up, and stage settings. I did not get the feeling of seeing a recreation of acient Babylon.
