- A great value!
- This collection of operas is a great introduction to opera and a great value for the price. Every title comes with the complete libretto and synopsis, too.
The production of Cosi Fan Tutte in this set launched my own love of opera. I think it's still hard to beat!
Highly recommended! - 2008-03-21, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Dull La Scala
- I've been an opera fan since the 1950s and have seen and heard many performances. This collection is DULL! Richardo Muti conducts the orchestra as if he were half asleep. The singing is at a tempo that does not interest or excite. I was very disappointed. Don't waste your money on this collection.

- The Deal of the Century!
- I,honestly, thought the price must be a misprint.What a fantastic collection of operas for a nominal price! Top drawer singers,conductors,costumes and scenery.My favorites are the "Cosi Fan Tutti" and "Attila". Fiordiligi & Dorabella's entrance duet is breathtaking. Samuel Ramey's Attila is legendary.His voce is so full of excitement and passion.I am a great fan of Renato Bruson.However, he succeeded in destroying the beauty of the sextet from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor. The projected scenery in the William Tell was unusual. Mirella Freni's Adriana was very moving. Her beauty of tone was phenomenal for her age. Great performances across the board. A wonderful acquisition for the novice or jaded opera enthusiast.

- Opera on DVD
- As lovers of opera, my wife and I are finding that the choice, price and quick delivery of the DVDs we order from Amazon, give us a fantastic opportunity to watch opera regularly at an affordable price.
The La Scala collection of 11 operas plus the Wagner I am now buying makes the Amazon site one we visit regularly.
And we look forward to receiving regular parcels. - 2007-10-20, 3 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- la scala, el más alto grado de la ópera
- (I'm sorry?)... my revew is in in castellan.
Esta colección de óperas representadas en el teatro La Scala de Milán constituyen una excelente selección de títulos célebres y grandes intérpretes.
El teatro milanés -como todas las salas de ópera del mundo- puede ofrecer puestas de diferente nivel, pero en general y cuando se dan las condiciones (lo que sucede a menudo), la suma de cantantes, orquesta, escenografía, vestuario, coreografía, etc., etc., alcanzan resultados que muy pocos teatros consiguen. El mejor espíritu de la tradición operística italiana y el gusto por la voz humana entendida como el más perfecto instrumento musical, cuando se suman, consiguen resultados únicos, como lo demuestra esta colección.
