Verdi's Ernani is one of his most romantic stories as three rivals risk everything for a woman, with abductions, conspiracies and fatal oaths!
This was a new Metropolitan Opera production, filmed in 1983, that brought together an all-star billing of singers, including Luciano Pavarotti in his absolute operatic prime. He was joined on stage by Leona Mitchell as the female heroine and the great baritone Sherrill Milnes and bass-baritone Ruggero Raimondi.
James Levine conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus on this DVD, which has the wonderful atmosphere that only comes with live recordings. It includes subtitles in German, English, French, Spanish and Chinese and a bonus picture gallery and trailers.
"A quartet of major voices was on hand to fill the leading roles... Naturally, they gave fans of sheer vocalism a great deal to cheer about during the evening... Mr. Pavarotti gave a splendid full-throated performance... He was also a sensitive partner in the many ensemble numbers... Miss Mitchell filled the house gloriously... Mr. Milnes was a dominating force... Mr. Raimondi gave his usual solid performance, musically and dramatically... James Levine's conducting had plenty of passion and momentum." New York Times
