If you let yourself be guided by the cover of the DVD set, you would think that Pavarotti stars in all four operas included in the set; the truth is that he is the leading tenor in three of them. But pleasant surprise! Placido Domingo is the tenor in “Il Tabarro”, Puccini’s one-act opera which complements Leoncavallo’s “Pagliacci”, also included. So, despite being “cheated” of Pavarotti’s presence here, one cannot complain: I appreciate the work of both of the leading tenors of the 20th Century. The quality of the recordings is not state of the art, but honestly did not interfere at all with my enjoyment of the operas. “La Boheme” could stand remastering, but the viedo and sound are more than adequate, nonetheless. The price for this set is one of the greatest bargains in the entire lineup of DVD recordings offered in Amazon.

Sometimes I rush & don’t get what I intend to. I read the reviews before purchasing this DVD. Not only was it favorable but it kept me from making a mistake on a gift for my Husband. The night of my husbands “B” Day he watched part of the Collection. Boy was I shocked to see tears come down this 6’5″ – 220lb man’s cheeks. The 2nd night even more tears. He says he has never seen such a Beautiful performance. He is a Hughe Fan of the late Luciano Pavarotti. Says The Italian Opera Collection by Luciano Pavarotti, Metropolitan Opera is more than 5 Star. He highly recommends this item.

Like the Verdi Pavarotti album,this register like all the ones coming from Metropolitan are made under original conception.This together with the best performances of Pavarotti become an unavoidable DVD for people that likes these operas and that wont be repeated again
