Notes & Reviews:
This DVD combines a number of operatic highlights: Puccini's Madama Butterfly - the composer's self-proclaimed favorite work and certainly one of the most beloved operas in the repertoire - is brought to life at the worldfamous Arena di Verona. This opulent production, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, is sung by a cast of excellent singer-actors and conducted by long-established Arena di Verona conductor Daniel Oren with all the splendor that a Puccini opera demands. The opera is staged in front of the imposing Roman backdrop of the "Arena di Verona" and directed by respected film and opera director Franco Zeffirelli. Fiorenza Cedolins is a sought after Butterfly singer and her Pinkerton is played by the renowned tenor Marcello Giordani. The performance is lead by Daniel Oren who has worked with the opera festival for more than two decades. The sum of all this is a gloriously sung musical experience.
