OPERA CANADA- Ruby Mercer

we have well-chosen and faithfully reproduced…vocally superb and movingly dramatic singing of Domingo…inspired the enthusiastic ovation that closed the program.

This one features some of the world’s great voices performing memorable arias…No wasted time in this video: just great music.

Opera buffs will surely enjoy this collection of highlights featuring some of the biggest names in opera. Highly Recommended.
