Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
Johann Strauss's most effervescent operetta is a perennial favorite.John Cox's production, designed by Julia Trevelyan Oman, is musical champagne; it combines elegant gaiety with frothy Viennese music for an evening of sparkling entertainment.
That gala event features Dame Joan Sutherland's farewell to The Royal Opera House.Fellow superstars Luciano Pavarotti and Marilyn Horne take the stage to express their own tributes to her.Dame Joan's finale of "Home Sweet Home" brings tears to many eyes and a standing ovation for one of opera's most-beloved singers.
