Customer Reviews

Another magic night with the stars in Berlin
The dream couple of opera along with Placido Domingo provide many highlights in this well filmed concert from Berlin to celebrate the closing of the Soccer World Cup. I do agree with many of the reviewers that Domingo's diction is exemplary, compared with the new kids on the block. However, I must confess slight disappointment that none of the reviewers make mention that Domingo transposes most of his solo arias than what is originally written, which I am sure is to be expected, given the fact that he was 65 at the time of the recording.
However, Anna and Rolando's performances are incredible. Each aria or duet is sung with such passion and fervour. Highlights are definitely Rolando's 'La Danza' which gets the audience clapping and up on their feet and Anna's 'Quando m'en vo', where she also surprises the audience. Watch the DVD and see what I mean. Reservations aside, this is a classy concert, excellently filmed and the enormous audience of over 12 000 people enjoy every minute. Conductor Marco Armiliato and the Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper provide warm and sympathetic accompaniment to the star singers.

An outstanding concert!
Don't hesitate to buy this DVD concert. One of the best collective performances I've seen for a while. Great setting, great orchestra and amazing singing. Turn on your surround sound, crank up the volume and enjoy!!

Awesome one of a kind concert
I am usually not an Opera fan and my classical music knowledge is somewhat limited, but this concert is just amazing. My parents were live at the event and bought a bunch of the DVDs to give to friends and it is just AMAZING. The setting is gorgeous, the orchestra is great, and the performance of these three is absolutely outstanding. A great concert to watch, to listen too repeatedly, and if you crank it up, the neighbors will love it as well. Excellent sound quality!
