Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Like a Box of Chocolates
Review: In addition to Puccini loves scenes, also included are scenes from Verdi, Strauss, and Offenbach, and various singers in addition to Placido Domingo and Kiri Te Kanawa.
Cotrubas and Shicoff are superb in La Boheme. Placido Domingo performs an energetic Kleinzach from Tales of Hoffman. There's also passion and great singing in Il Tabarro's couple, Giorgetta and Luigi.
This is like a box of chocolates: some selections are okay, and several are delicious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: And where is the name of Kabaivanska?
Review: One of the greatest performances on this DVD is Kabaivanska's Butterfly. It is a shame that this fabulous artist is not even mentioned among the stars. She is a legendary interpreter of Puccini and her name should be in the first place. Fan Site: www.rainafan.tk
