This new DVD was recorded live at the Metropolitan Opera during one of the fabled theatre’s greatest nights last season
Maurizio Benini waves a magic wand of a baton, eliciting effervescent, transparent, shining sound from the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus. Piquant visuals and superb acting by the entire cast make this a DVD opera lovers will watch again and again
The Philadelphia Inquirer lauded: “Mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca was a sensation at the Metropolitan Opera's spring simulcast of La Cenerentola with her vocal virtuosity, intensely blond glamour, and acting ability…”
