| 1. |  | Gaetano Donizetti - La Fille du regiment / Dessay, Florez, Palmer, Corbelli, French, Campanella, Pelly (Royal Opera House 2007) from Virgin Classics Price: $22.49 Customer Review:  I saw a tape of another production of "Daughter of the Regiment" and it was fantastic. The DVD I received from Amamzon was different, although the cast was the same. The quality of the film was poor, the lighting was bad, and there was a different conductor. All in all, it did not have the same... |

| 2. |  | Gilbert & Sullivan - The Mikado / Eric Idle, Lesley Garrett, Richard Van Allan, Felicity Palmer, Richard Angas, Bonaventura Bottone, Susan Bullock, English National Opera from A&E Home Video Price: $14.99 Customer Review:  Poor Gilbert! He must have turned over in his grave every day since this monstrosity was created. Removing the opera from Japan and dressing the characters in British 1920s formal attire takes Mikado out of context, and renders it humorless and senseless. Gilbert was a genius. The creator... |

| 3. |  | Puccini - Gianni Schicchi / Corbelli, Palmer, Giordano, Matthews, McLaughlin, Jurowski, Glyndebourne Opera from BBC / Opus Arte Price: $22.49 Customer Review:  This is a truly brilliant production of Puccini's comic masterpiece. Although this one-acter, the third in Puccini's "Il Trittico" (trilogy) of one-act operas dealing with the subject of death, is less than an hour long, it packs a more than satisfying punch in the way of great music, well-drawn... |

| 4. | ![Gianni Schicchi [Blu-ray]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41pDSNaqzbL._SL160_.jpg) | Gianni Schicchi [Blu-ray] from BBC / Opus Arte Price: $32.49 Customer Review:  Gianni Schicchi and the Dark Knight are at first sight an unlikely couple but the booklet explains why they have been linked. Schicchi is now a very popular black comedy but the knight's tale is really grim. The music however is pure Rachmaninov and well worth repeat listening. Both operas are very... |

| 5. |  | The Funny Blokes of British Comedy from BBC Warner Price: $8.49 Customer Review: The DVD is just a presentation where a speaker talks about different shows of the British Comedy. I was expecting to see a presentation and then the complete shows, but instead they are just small parts (a few seconds) of the mentioned shows. |

| 6. |  | Tchaikovsky - Pique Dame / Davis, Marusin, Gustafson, Palmer, London Philharmonic from Image Entertainment Price: $26.99 Customer Review: I am writing this review to counter the bad ones here. This is a great production, both vocally and theatrically. The director's concept is wonderful and the singers are great. I recommend this DVD over any other one of this opera. What a joy. |

| 7. |  | Handel - Rodelinda / Roschmann, Chance, Palmer, Nilon, Robson, Chiummo, Bolton, Munich Opera from Farao Records Price: $30.49 Customer Review: I love this opera, and recordings of it are in short supply, so I actually bought this DVD (and the Glyndebourne one as well) just to hear some different renditions of this wonderful music. Both DVDs are good, but Roschmann's singing is a revelation! Anna Caterina Antonacci, on Glyndebourne's DVD,... |

| 8. |  | Janacek - Kat'a Kabanova / Davis, Gustafson, Palmer, Glyndebourne Opera from Kultur Video Price: $26.99 Customer Review: On the DVD the orchestra is really there. I liked the production, and the cast sang and acted well. Perhaps the sound was remixed for the DVD as I could not understand the negative reviews given this production. |

| 9. |  | Britten - Let's Make an Opera from Arthaus Musik Price: $17.99 Customer Review: An engaging introduction to opera for children with similarities to Britten's Noye's Fludde (audience sing-alongs provide the chorus). Also a worthy companion piece to his "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra," it is ideal for schools, music teachers, conservatories, and amateur theater groups.... |
