LUCIO SILLA—MOZART
Cmajor: DVD 743308, Blu-ray 743404—”La Scala’s Orchestra under the direction of Marc Minkowski plays beautifully from start to finish…and his connectivity between singers and orchestra is seamless” —John Holland
COSÌ FAN TUTTE—MOZART

DER ROSENKAVALIER—R. STRAUSS
Cmajor: DVD 743308, Blu-ray 743404—With director Robert Carsen’s production of Der Rosenkavalier, we now witness “the swansong of the Austrian Empire in the late 19th century with all the lavishness and decadence of the period” —John Holland

BREATHE–James Rolfe
