Summary
This collection brings together three Royal Opera productions of Mozart's most celebrated operas: a spellbinding and evocative Le nozze di Figaro, set in post-Revolution France, and a spectacular Zauberflöte - both directed by David McVicar - as well as Francesca Zambello's colourful and seductive Don Giovanni. A host of stellar singers, including Simon Keenlyside, Joyce DiDonato, Erwin Schrott, Miah Persson and Diana Damrau, and renowned conductors Charles Mackerras, Colin Davis and Antonio Pappano, Music Director of The Royal Opera, feature in this showcase for The Royal Opera at its finest. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
""Here is a Figaro to put with the 1973 Glyndebourne production placed among the top five operatic DVDs. Figaro and Susanna are very much the center here, and we like them not only because they sing and act well but because they are sympathetic in a modern way."" (Gramophone - Le Nozze di Figaro)
""...a mellow warmth that was deeply satisfying. Simon Keenlyside...a triumph as quite the most engaging Papageno I have ever encountered... With an exceptional Queen of the Night, Diana Damrou, this is an evening no Mozart lover should miss..."" (The Mail on Sunday - Die Zauberflote)
