Yes, both are the usual superb Opera Rara package, with books that include the libretto, pictures, history and very interesting essays by Jeremy Commons. I recommend them both for Donizetti and Italian romantic fans.

Was in the mood for some operetta today, which reminded me of Minkowski's Davide Penitente horse ballet.

I love the DVD of this production. Felicity Lott is absolutely hilarious.Originally Posted by Dichteurehalle

This is an absolutely wonderful recording and I got it in a huge digital set (170 tracks) from Amazon for 99 cents last night. The set includes many great works. Check it out:

The Cincinnati Opera’s 2017 season will get underway in a few weeks, beginning with Puccini’s La Bohème. I’m getting ready by listening to the two recordings I have. (Couldn’t decide between them, so I purchased both.)

Oh one of my favourites!
Madama Butterfly, with Renata Tebaldi and Carlo Bergonzi. An opera I know very well, but the first listen to this recording with two artists whom I very much admire
