Pavarotti and Sutherland couldn't sing better, I highly recommend this, Richard Bonynge conducts the Elizabethan Sydney Orchestra, and the Concertmaster is Ladislav Jasek, who gives an amazing interpretation in Maditation, really, you must have this concert.

Two opera stars soar!
Sutherland's HAMLET mad scene is worth the price of the DVD alone -- astounding, especially when one realizes she was 57 at the time. She sings rings around any coloratura since.

Wonderful
This dvd was absolutely magnificent!! I would highly reccomend it to anyone. Well worth the money. They are both in top voice and give their all to it.
