This new album, capturing the thrill of her greatest performances on one of the world’s most iconic stages, will be a major event for her many fans who have followed her career in the opera house, on radio, on CD, and on DVD.
This recording also includes virtuoso arias from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Bellini’s I Puritani, Verdi’s Rigoletto, Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann, Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and Puccini’s La Bohème.
