Classic Duets

This DVD is a celebration of musical partnerships, featuring some of opera’s greatest stars singing together with Luciano Pavarotti. Dame Joan Sutherland, Plácido Domingo, Renata Scotto, Maria Guleghina, and José Carreras all feature in a compilation of hugely-enjoyable duets and ensembles from the great Italian operas. This DVD includes a duet from a previously unreleased performance of Rigoletto from the MET in 1981. Ranging from Verdi and Donizetti to the verismo of Puccini, the music includes famous duets from La Traviata (Brindisi), La Bohème (O soave fanciulla), L’elisir d’amore (Ardir) and concluding with that celebrated ‘Nessun Dorma’ from ‘The Three Tenors’ at the 1990 World Cup in Rome.
