Puccini: Chi il bel sogno di Doretta (from La Rondine) (Magda's aria, Doretta's Dream) - DVD video

A concert given in 1991 by tenor Jaume Aragall and soprano Ana Ma Gonzalez during the Torroella de Montgri Music Festival. Aria and duets by Puccini, Verdi, Massenet and Gounod.

An evening of opera, zarzuela, and a wealth of other musical treats from the great Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo - joined by a host of special guests. Filmed in Seville before an excited audience, this concert brings together selections from great composers like Bizet, Puccini, and Gershwin; romantic zarzuelas like El Gato Montes and La Taberana del Puerta; classics of Spanish guitar like ‘Asturias’; and Latin pop hits like ‘El Grito de America.’ Joining Plácido for this musically varied event are the sultry American singer Julia Migenes - with whom the tenor appeared in the critically acclaimed film version of Carmen - as well as soprano Guadalupe Sanchez and the dazzling guitarist Ernesto Bitetti.

Plácido performs big arias, charming operetta numbers, and duets; he encores with Manuel Alejandro’s ‘El Grito de America,’ a contemporary work for ensemble and voices. A fascinating and satisfying concert from one of the great vocal artists of the age.
