Genuinely thrilled by the DGG CD set of Bellini's "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" [Anna Netrebko & Elina Garanca] ,I did a search to see if it was out on video, BD preferred. Sadly no, only a Eurotrash DVD version [Patrizia Ciofi (soprano), Clara Polito (mezzo), Danilo Formaggia (tenor), Nicola Amodio (tenor), Federico Sacchi (bass), Orchestra Internazionale d�Italia, The Bratislava Chamber Chorus, Luciano Acocella] with antagonists waving pistols at one another in place of swords - yuk. The singing on this version is praised but the reports I found say the staging and lighting are not good.

Maybe sometime soon?

No "I Capuleti e i Montecchi", but "Anna Bolena" is coming out later this month on Blu-ray - Chris from Lafayette 18:57:15 11/07/11 (4)
(At least in the UK.) And I hope you're sitting down. Look who is featured:

  Had trouble tracking it down - not listed at Amazon yet and the DGG site is useless. However I did finally find it at Presto. Looks like it is available next week. Might wait to see if Amazon sell it for less.

    - Agree. Thanks Russell, But that is the DVD!! - John C. - Aussie 04:00:27 11/09/11 (0)
      I only wish MDT had a better search engine. I find it VERY difficult to use - Presto is great, a hit first time.
      
      Anyway, Thanks again for the tip.

  Apparently at this performance there was a 15 minute standing ovation. Listening to that superb CD set I can understand why.
  
  Life is good.
