Description: This specially priced 3-DVD set (three for the price of two) features Luciano Pavarotti at the Met in three of the legendary Italian tenor's greatest roles: * His Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore is "a blend of rustic innocence with a warm, amorous side, and a bit of virtuosic hamminess." (New York Times) * As Rodolfo in La Bohème, "he was in peak form in 1977...funny, warm, touching, believable, and a consummate vocal stylist." (Fanfare) * In Pagliacci, Pavarotti "was singing Canio for the first time on stage, and he does so magnificently, dramatically as well as vocally." (International Record Review) This fabulous collection includes bonus footage featuring interviews with Luciano Pavarotti, James Levine, and Renata Scotto, as well as a picture gallery.

Details: The Italian Opera Collection
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.
