2003 (Audio): Stellar cast with Mattei, Furlanetto, Radavnovsky, Netrebko.Įlisir d'Amore: 1991: Pavarotti doing an incredible (and funny) Nemorino, Kathleen Battle doing a perfect Adina, Joan Pons shining in his Belcore and Enzo Dara 'THE basso buffo' singing an incredibly enjoyable Dulcamara. The other singers are really amazing too. 2011: Kwiecien and Pisaroni's chemistry is amazing, that do a really fun duo and, of course, they're some fine singers. 2000: It's really sad how Bryn Terfel said that he didn't like singing The Don, he's outstanding and he is probably the most evil looking Don I've seen, he's really unique as he appears more desperate that other Don G's I've seen, give it a watch, also, Furlanetto is THE Leporello. 1990: I have no words, some other people have already said enough in other comments, 12/10 would go to hell with Kurt Moll again. You can tell that this night every singer was at its best, making it one of the defeinitive versions of this opera.Ĭav/Pag: 1978: I can't talk that much about Cav, as I don't remember this version that good, but the Pag is brutal, Domingo as Canio is amazing, Stratas does a really convincing Nedda and Milnes just leaves me breathless as an amazing Tonio.ĭon Giovanni: Actually all three video recordings are really good. 2010: This is one of the best versions out there, Garanca as Carmen is gorgeous, Alanga, although I'm not too into him, does a massively good Don José and Barbara Frittoli does a really good Mikaela. Peter Mattei as Figaro, Joyce DiDonato as Rosina and Juan Diego Flórez as Almaviva are just perfect.Ĭarmen: 1987: This one's amazing, Carreras as Don José is incredible, and so is Baltsa as Carmen.

I love this cast, Marcelo Álvarez is amazing, Radvanovsky is one of the best sopranos of our generation and, although I'm not a big fan, Hvorovstovsky is really good here.īarbiere di Siviglia: 2007: Although it may not have my favourite staging, it probably has XXI century's best singers for their respective roles in this opera.

I'll make you a list of MUST watchs, for me:Īida: 1985: Leontyne Price's last performance in opera, it's just really emotional, and she's stellar.īallo in Maschera: 2012: If you don't like modern stagings you probabaly won't like it that much.
