- Perfezione!
- This is total fun!
Placido Domingo can still blow most tenors out of the water!
Rolando Villazon has a sparkle and energy that reaches out and grabs
the audience. What a voice!
Anna Netrebko's voice is even more beautiful than her amazing looks.
I guarantee you will LOVE the finale!

- The perfect gift for the Placido opera fan.
- This is one of the more recent concerts that the Placido Domingo opera fans have been craving. I purchased this as a gift, and was slightly concerned that it had been filmed by a European company. My gift recipient is already on her second viewing in 2 days, and thinks it is marvelous.

- The Berlin Concert at Waldbuhne - Amazing!
- These three superstars of opera are spectacular - this is one of Placido Domingo's last big public appearances as he moves more into conducting, and leaves the singing to the younger folks. But he is still in fine form, and holds up his end beautifully in duets with Anna and Rolando alike. Buy it - you'll have no regrets!

- Waldbühne Berlin
- Atmosphere great, singers animated and first rate. The program consisted of popular musical scores that were easily recognizable--a good idea for large audiences.
The concert took off when the singers performed encores. It was at this point that the audience became enthusiastic and reacted accordingly. - 2007-11-28, 1 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- A Real Winner!
- What a concert! I have viewed this DVD at least 5 times from the day I bought it, and I have listened to it so many times that I stopped counting.
Domingo at 65 (This was taped in 2006) is still singing and how!
and Netrebko and Villazon are incredible, but let's not forget the orchestra!
The program selection was just great and the direction of the production was such that it really gave you a feeling of almost being there, especially during the encore pieces, you could be moved along with the adoring audience. Buy it and enjoy!
This is a DVD to treasure and be played over and over in the years to come. - 2007-11-07, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
