Fleming sings Violetta on DVD for the first time. Villazón is the perfect dramatic partner.
"Of all my operatic repertoire in recent years, Violetta was the one role I felt that I needed to sing..." Renée Fleming
"My music was played, I came in and my eye's met Renée's eyes. That gorgeous look. I became Alfredo and all I wanted to do was melt Violetta's heart with the fire of my soul." Rolando Villazón
The lavish, traditional large-scale production, directed by Marta Domingo, has all the glamour one has come to expect from a period production. Beautiful sets and costumes add to the spectacle.
Veteran Verdi baritone Renato Bruson sings the role of Alfredo's father, Germont.
Filmed in Hi-Definition Widescreen.
