Aida

Very nice set and costumes by Mauro Carosi. The procuction is well staged in the relatively small scene at Parma by Joseph Franconi Lee. Here's a performance that really works.Everything seems just right, but if you MUST have the top soloists (Pavarotti, Domingo...),look elsewhere. However, I think that the ones here (Susanna Branchini (Aida),Mariana Pentcheva (Amneris),Walter Fraccaro (Radames),Alberto Gazale (Amonasro),Carlo Malinverno (Il Re di Egitto) do a fantastic job. Also pluses for the ballet and the video production.
