The excitement around this occasion was entirely justified by the fantastic performances given by an incomparable cast of established and rising opera superstars and the DVD/BD will be a must-have for all fans of great opera. With her sensational role debut at the Vienna State Opera, superstar diva Anna Netrebko takes `one giant leap forward to claiming the title of diva assoluta del mondo' (Opera News) with a performance of rare vocal and dramatic power. Her much anticipated reprisal of this role, at the season opening of the Metropolitan Opera in New York in September 2011, is already the talk of the opera world. The performance also stars DG mezzo-soprano El?na Garan?a, in `a fantastic display of bel canto' (Opera News) as Anna's rival Giovanna Seymour. Ildebrando D'Arcangelo brings his beautifully dark tone to the role of Enrico and young Italian tenor Francesco Meli sings the demanding role of Lord Percy with a `youthful virility' (Agence France Press), promising great things for the future. On the podium Evelino Pidò 'drew playing of unusual precision and refinement...making every note matter' (Financial Times)
