Gioachino Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia (Live from the Schwtzingen SWR Festival, 1988)

Opera stories are sort of contrived but the singing is superb.Love Cecilia Bartoli in any thing she does!nmorse

This is a beautiful production. It is from 1988 with a 2013 DVD release from ArtHaus musik. Despite the early date the images are clear with good color rendition. The sound is PCM stereo but very good. The subtitles make sense and don't impinge on the key parts of each image. The staging is very nice and the performances excellent. I particularly enjoyed Cecilia Bartoli as Rosina, Gino Quilico as Figaro, and Carolo Feller as Bartolo but all of the singers were fine.

Entgegen den Angaben und dem Aufdruck auf der DVD kein deutscher Untertitel vorhanden! Könnte durch Änderung der Produktbeschreibung und einen einfachen Aufkleber auf der DVD behoben werden.
