This DVD was recorded during the 53rd edition of the renowned Festival Puccini which takes place every year in the composer’s hometown of Torre del Lago. The entire cast received excellent reviews, particularly Cifrone who “gave an exquisite performance both vocally and dramatically”, and Giordani’s who “shone in the top register and displayed an impressive dynamic range” (Musicweb) Contemporary Polish sculptor and artist Igor Mitoraj has also been hailed for his splendid and imaginative sets. Mitoraj’s style is deeply rooted in classical traditions but with a post-modern twist and has had work displayed at Canada Square, and the British Museum. “…a highly “musical” and talented cast . . . With Irina Lungu a sexier and more assertive Micaëla than usually expected and Nino Surguladze vocally perfect” La Repubblica | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Open Air Opera Festival Bregenzer Festspiele
Summer 2007Production: Philipp Himmelmann / Stage Setting: Johannes Leiacker
The Bregenz Festival is a critically acclaimed highlight of the opera summer. The ‘Opera on the Floating Stage’ entrances thousands every year. A short extract from this film will appear in the forthcoming James Bond Film Quantum of Solace. This spellbinding production stars Nadja Michael, Zoran Todorovic and Gidon Saks, with Ulf Schirmer at the helm of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. “Nadja Michael….sings with glittering, cool, unvaried assurance and looks stunning” Evening Standard on her recent performance as Salome at ROH. “…there are… many interesting features of this performance, the most impressive of which is Scarpia as played by Gidon Saks. This is the most disgusting and convincing portrayal I have ever seen on stage. …Nadja Michael's Tosca is elegant if squally, and Zoran Todorovich is a convincing actor, though he sings in an almost unremitting forte...” BBC Music Magazine, February 2009 **** “The singing of the main characters is impressive. Nadja Michael's Vissi d'arte and Zoran Todorovich's E lucevan le stelle do not disappoint, and Scarpia's performance exudes sheer villainy. The chorus and orchestra, directed by Ulf Schirmer, are strongly supportive.” Penguin Guide, 2010 edition */** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
