Editorial Reviews

The knock-out concert event of 2006! Anna Netrebko, Plácido Domingo and Rolando Villazón came together for one unforgettable evening of opera arias and ensembles. This is not a cross-over concert, but a genuine collection of operatic gems, performed by three thrilling performers in front of an audience of 20,000 roaring fans. The excitement in the audience brings out the best in each performer. With selections from L'Arlesiana, Gianni Schicchi, Otello, Les Pêcheurs de Perles, Giuditta, La Bohème, West Side Story and much more! Marco Armiliato leads the Deutschen Oper Berlin Orchestra.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Wonderful... Beautiful..., December 15, 2008

This review is from: Berlin Concert: Live From Waldbuhne [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This Berlin concert in Waldbuhne, the largest outdoor arena in Europe, is so great that you can watch over and over again. All three opera stars are brilliant and amazing! Domingo looked older than I thought but he's still a great singer with all the power and techniques. I just hoped he could be around for a long time. Both Netrebko and Villazon sing with such power and confidence as if they want to brag themselves telling how good youth is. Without a doubt, they are new "BIG" stars in a new generation. Yes, the vision and audio are at top notch. One drawback is, however, one (at least) of many cameras was probably not in HD so the vision suddenly changes to unclean and grainy look from time to time, which is actually rather annoying. All in all, you will love this blu-ray with the outstanding concert.

This review is from: Berlin Concert: Live From Waldbuhne [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

It is like being there, time and again. The images are incredible crisp and bright and the sound is wonderful. Three of the greatest voices of today perform well selected areas of operas and popular songs. You will enjoy every minute of it. Bluray technology really proves itself.

I strongly recommend this DVD to watch and listen alone (and may be sing with your favorites singers) or with your friends and family and have a great time. Just like being there.

This review is from: Berlin Concert: Live From Waldbuhne [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I have had the standard dvd version since it was released however I was shocked to see the vibrancy of the colors, the clarity, and hear the incredible uncompressed sound of this blu-ray. Opera has never sounded or looked this good- we are very lucky indeed.
