1.Verdi: La Traviata -- Royal Opera House [1994] (NTSC) starring: Angela Gheorghiu, Frank Lopardo, Leo Nucci, Leah-Marian Jones, Gillian Knight directed by: Humphrey Burton, Peter Maniura March 12, 2001

This is the opera that shot Georgiu to stardom. It's easy to see why, with her combination of acting, looks and singing. Violetta is a very difficult role, it places very different demands on the singer in each act. Georgiu isn't quite ideal for act 1, but after that she's really in her element. You can practically see the paternal pride in Solti's face as he watches his young protegee bloom. Surely the definitive Traviata.

As ever so often with the house of BBC Opus Arte, this is an outstanding product, with superior packaging and domumentation, hair-rising state of the art sonics and video quality, and relevant and interesting material supplementary to the main "feature" (a full-length documentary on the production itself deriving from a BBC TV programme, with interviews with the main singers, the conductor and the producer and a sound -i.e., read- detailed synopsis of the opera's plot with visual references to the performance itself). "The Trojans" is nor precisely a repertory work so these extra items do mean an important advantage. In fact, there's practically nothing at fault here, although not all reviews in this site are favourable. I suppose ... Read More:

This is a gorgeous, lush, minimal opera. John Adams explores the Christmas myths with his usual wit and energy. The Audio CD is wonderful but with the added depth of Sellars film and visual work the opera opens up into new vistas. Glorious! A little patch of heaven.
