Elsewhere someone asked about Anna Netrebko as Susanna in Mozart's "Nozze di Figaro". I found this.

Ildebrando D'Arcangelo is Figaro, with Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducting.

I have this DVD, it's part of the M22 box. The general consensus (and I agree) is that it is a very bad staging. Pretty much the only good thing there is Anna. Otherwise it is a disaster that sucks the fun out of this opera.

Anna Netrebko singing La Traviata from Saint Petersburg, in 1994:

[Aksel]

Rossini's La pietra del paragone from the Chatelet. Spinosi conducting. I think this is the one Alma likes.

Thérèse is an opera in two acts, written by Jules Massenet in 1907.

Thérèse, living at the time of the French Revolution, is torn between her lover, a nobleman that want to take her into exile, and her husband, a Girondist. When the husband is to be killed at the guillotine, she decides to share his fate.

This is not a masterpiece, of course, but it's a nice little opera. There is a version with Agnes Baltsa and Francisco Araiza, complete in youtube:

Mother's Ring, by Manolis Kalomiris, written in 1939:
