Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This is an outdoor concert for an enormous audience, staged in a large, architecturally striking public square in Dresden in July 1999, and featuring the most glamorous, young husband and wife currently active on the international operatic scene, soprano Angela Gheorghiu and tenor Roberto Alagna. Before his untimely death at age 54, Giuseppe Sinopoli was considered one of Europe's finest opera conductors, and in the Dresden orchestra and chorus he has performers who match his creative energy.
The program seems to have been selected, quite successfully, with two criteria in mind: mass popularity and opportunities to display technical brilliance. Gheorghiu and Alagna join their voices in love duets from Verdi's Otello and Puccini's Madame Butterfly that will appeal especially to the many fans who have been attracted to them as a couple. But each also sings impressive solos in some of opera's top-40 numbers, notably the "Flower Song" from Carmen and "E lucevan le stelle" from Tosca for Alagna, and "Un bel di" from Madame Butterfly and "Pace, pace, mio Dio" from La forza del Destino for Gheorghiu. The chorus and orchestra take the spotlight powerfully in showpieces from La traviata, Il trovatore, Carmen, and Aida, among other selections. The only problem, a small one, is the self-consciously chic dance numbers to selections from Carmen and Aida. --Joe McLellan

I really was specting a concert from Gheorghiu and Alagna, not that they din`t sing wounderfull, but I was specting more singing from them a less from the choures wich by the way remarkble.

It's unlikely a browser found this DVD by typing 'classics on a summer evening' , but rather having typed in Roberto Alagna and/or Angela Gheorghiu for the simple reason we have become so fond of this pair. So much so, that many of us have to restrain ourselves to keep from positively gushing about them. Here are two gorgeous people sumptuously gifted in the art of Bel Canto. Who could forget them, ever, in Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore? That is if you like seeing two people actually in love, exuding ... Read More

This is a beautifully filmed outdoor live concert from Dresden featuring 2 terrific opera singers - Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu. Although my favorite soprano of all time is Anna Moffo, I have come to greatly appreciate Gheorghiu's musicianship and spectacular voice. She was magnificent in "La Traviata". I'm amazed at her breath control and how easily she sings. Alagna has an incredibly beautiful lyric tenor which I prefer over most of the current tenors excluding my wonderful Placido Domingo. ...

As other reviews have mentioned, this is a performance by beautiful people, of beautiful music, in a beautiful setting.
In addition to the flawless singing of Gheorghiu and Alagna, there are wonderful opportunities for the chorus, including Verdi's "Anvil Chorus" from Il trovatore, and the Triumphal Chorus from Aida.
Sinopoli varies the program interspersing several overtures with the singing:
La Traviata
Nabucco
Carmen ... Read More

I just want to add my voice of assent to the able comments of other reviewers, and make the five-star appraisal even more statistically relevant! This is an exceptional DVD in its perfect harmony of technical and artistic competence. Visually, it is exciting and beautifully put together, whether in the scenes of Dresden's regal architecture, or the orchestra and chorus, or in the close-ups of instrumental soloists and the singers themselves. Soundwise, it strikes a perfect balance, at least on my theatre ... Read More
