Rating:  - A masterpiece!
I remember seeing this live original broadcast, and it was thrilling then. Pavarotti and Scotto are at their best, and Levine supports them and the rest of the cast perfectly. I am glad I went looking for it, and recommend it to any Puccini or Pavarotti lover.
Rating:  - Beautiful Performance by All
This DVD performance has a way of drawing you into the story so that you feel that you're on the stage with the performers. The singing and acting are superb but the quality of the recording is deficient. Camera angles and framing detract from the total enjoyment. Lighting is poor and obscure. If you want the feeling of sitting in the balcony watching the opera, this is for you. I, for one, don't want to be distracted by seeing more than what's happening on stage. Granted, the video/audio technology ... Read More
Rating: - Scotto- The Queen of the Night
This production was filmed live at the met in 1977 and it's an affecting one.

Scotto performs from the soul and from the heart and it's a very moving experience to hear and see her perform.
Her singing is so poetic with such sensitive artful display of dynamics to convey the words she is singing.
This is a performance ... Read More
Rating:  - La Boheme
A marvelous version of this great opera. The 'young' Pavoratti's voice simply soars. I saw the new Met version recently which was excellent, but no comparison in tenors. What a loss too soon when he died.
Rating: - Quintessential Pavarotti
I purchased this DVD for my parents, avid opera fans. If you love a classic love story with the most melodic music and are new to opera this is the DVD to buy. As you probably are aware the movie "Rent" was loosely based on this opera. Although that can't hold a candle to the origianl. Pavarotti and Scotto are perfect together and production and set were top notch. If you've never seen or heard an opera before I highly recommend this as your first. It's timeless and worth seeing.
