Customer Reviews

Grreat fod and great opera
We had purchased a copy earlier, and were playing it at dinner one night when an opera performer among our guests began identifying the performers and stated his appreciation of the disc. What else could we do but get one for him!
We have also enjoyed trying some of the reestaurants when we visit the city - all have been excellent!
