Summary:

Celebrating a great artist is always a gala occasion, but when the honoree is the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, the event is one to treasure. To pay tribute to the 30th anniversary of Pavarotti's Met debut, the company featured him in fully staged excerpts of three operas: Act II of Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore, Act III of Puccini's La Bohème (the opera he sang at his debut), and Act IV of Verdi's Aida. Joining the superstar tenor were colleagues like Ruth Ann Swenson, Leo Nucci, Daniela Dessì, Maria Guleghina, and Dolora Zajick, all conducted by James Levine.

Contents:

Introduction and interview

L'elisir d'amore. Cantiamo, facciam brindisi ; Piochè cantar vi alletta ; Io son ricco e tu sei bella-Silenzio! È qua il Notaro ; Le feste nuziali ; La donna è un animale stravagante

Venti scudi! ; Ai perigli, della guerra

Qua la mano, giovinotto ; Saria possibile ; Dell'elisir mirabile ; Io già m'immagino che cosa brami ; Come sen va contento! ; Quanto amore! Ed io, speitata! ; Una furtiva lagrima ; Eccola. Oh! Qual le accresce beltà ; Prendi, per me sei libero ; Alto! fronte! ; Ei corregge ogni difetto

Interview

La Bohème. Ohe, la, le guardie! ; Sa dirmo, scusi ; Mimì! ; Marcello, finalmente! ; Mimì è tanto malata! ; D'onde liete uscì ; Dunque è proprio finita!

Aida. L'aborrita rivale a me sfuggia ; Già i sacerdoti adunansi ; Ohimè! morir mi sento! ; La fatal pietra sovra me si chiuse ; Immenso Fthà

O terra, addio
