The program seems to have been selected, quite successfully, with two criteria in mind: mass popularity and opportunities to display technical brilliance. Gheorghiu and Alagna join their voices in love duets from Verdi's Otello and Puccini's Madame Butterfly that will appeal especially to the many fans who have been attracted to them as a couple. But each also sings impressive solos in some of opera's top-40 numbers, notably the "Flower Song" from Carmen and "E lucevan le stelle" from Tosca for Alagna, and "Un bel di" from Madame Butterfly and "Pace, pace, mio Dio" from La forza del Destino for Gheorghiu. The chorus and orchestra take the spotlight powerfully in showpieces from La traviata, Il trovatore, Carmen, and Aida, among other selections. The only problem, a small one, is the self-consciously chic dance numbers to selections from Carmen and Aida. --Joe McLellan

Customer Reviews of Classics on a Summer's Evening / Sinopoli, Gheorghiu, Alagna
Fabulous !!!!!! I can describe this DVD in one word "Fabulous".....Angelo and Roberto are both wonderful as is Maestro Sinopoli....the duet from Madam Butterfly is simply breathtaking and 'goosebumping...I would so love to meet this beautiful couple and thank them personally for giving me so much pleasure....
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to air my views on this outstanding performance.
A very pleasing summer evening
A wonderful recital: Perfect Chorus, Staatcapelle Dresde orchestra, a good-looking and efficient singer couple, magnificent views of Dresde (river, city, buildings in a sunny day and serene night), bright sound, beautiful dance, and a biggest conductor of our time. What more can you request?
Pop-classical pieces: Carmen, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Aida, Nabucco, Otello, Traviata, Trovador, etc. I only miss La Boheme... The orden is curious (airs and chorus of Carmen is separated by other pieces, as prelude and final chorus of Nabucco), but very efficient.
Gherghiu and Alagna are magnificent. Sinopoli looks happy and enjoys with his boys (one of the most important orchestra of the Europe, i.e. the world).
The public appears a little cold, save in the applauses and in the sympathetic and final expression with stars to the musical stars.
Superlative concert DVD from EMI
This is one of the best concerts of classical music on DVD I have seen to date. The musical program which lasts just over 100 minutes is competently presented by everyone involved. The fact that the soloists are married may explain why they sound so pleasing. The inclusion of both choral and ballet selections definitely adds to the enjoyment. Technically the concert is very well photographed(especially when viewed on a 16x9 screen),with camera angles well chosen. Night shots of Dresden and the audience are included. The quality of the picture is excellent as is the PCM stereo sound. The seamless integration of orchestral, ballet and choral pieces, arias and duets into the program was a joy to behold. And to make the DVD even more enjoyable the presence of complete and very legible multi-language subtitles throughout the entire program without doubt sets the standard other classical labels should follow. I bought laserdiscs for many years and one of my principal criticisms of the vast majority of classical recital discs (and even some opera videos) was the absence of subtitles. Now with the arrival of DVDs there is really no excuse for not including them for all vocal selections.
