A masterpiece 2 May 2009
Format:DVD
I was lucky enough to have seen this on BBC live from the Royal Opera House and although it was many years ago it still remains a favourite of mine. Having the three wonderful sopranos as opposed to the usual one added a dimension note seen since, as far as I am aware. And Placido Domingo was at his best during this period. Excellent DVD.

Excellent ! 26 Aug 2002
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
Placido Domingo leads an all round excellent cast. The singing is of a very high standard, and it is very well staged and produced.
I would recommend this to any opera lover, even if they are unfamiliar with this work.

Fantastic 19 July 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Probably one of the greatest opera performances and recordings ever. I was not lucky enough to be there but instead it caught my ear as I was listening to the BBC Radio 3 live broadcast. Astonishing singing and great that there is at least a DVD recording as I cannot find a CD recording.
