Incredible concert. Just wish I had been there, but future generations are SO lucky with something like this, not to compare, but to enjoy and enjoy they will. Every minute of it.

Even if you’re not a big fan of classical music or opera, you’ll like this tour-de-force of vocal artistry. The setting is gorgeous: a hillside amphitheatre on a summer’s eve before sunset, ending with then possibilty of a summer night’s storm inundating the scene (but that didn’t happen).
We all knoow about Placido, after all he’s one of the two surviving “Three Tenors,” and he’s been on Letterman! (Just like Madonna!) But you’ll be pleased by the performance of the up-and-comers Rolando Villazon and Anna Netrebko (by the way, gorgeous eye-candy in Blu-ray).
There’s a healthy selection of French and Italian composers, but the only German selection (without double-checking the liner notes) was a rousing and boisterous drinking song that was a fitting prelude to the tri-partite finale selctions.
If you have any affection for Placido, you won’t be disappointed by this concert disc and the happy selection of his musical companions.

If you love music at its finest, appreciate great artists (vocal and orchestral), and enjoy it in one of the world’s greatest performance centers(Waldbuhne), then you owe it to yourself to own this Blu-ray DVD.
Nothing I have seen showcases high-definition video, top-end audio reproduction, and artistically choreographed musical performance quite like this.
I cried, it was so beautiful.

The best opera live concert I’ve ever seen. A great demonstration of Blu-Ray technology! Anna Netrebko is superb.
