Description:
For the first time on DVD, enjoy the unforgettable Metropolitan Opera gala from 1987 with Luciano Pavarotti and Joan Sutherland! Two of the greatest opera stars of their time and long-time singing partners, Luciano Pavarotti and Joan Sutherland come together to perform four famous scenes from Acts I and III of Lucia di Lammermoor, Act III of La Traviata and Act III of Rigoletto. They are joined by the great Italian baritone Leo Nucci and conducted by Richard Bonynge. The scenes are complete and fully staged, making this unique from other DVDs of individual arias and ensembles.
