  • Good...but nowhere near great.
    Aida is certainly one of my favorite operas. However this is not a great recording.
    Domingo has been a truly great tenor, but is not in this recording. He is stiff, as usual, and too old for the character. Millo in blackface is absolutely ridiculous, and while she may be the "best Verdi soprano of the last 25 years" she is no Price or Tebaldi.

  • Excellent Recording!
    This DVD recording of "Aida" is a feast for the eyes and the ears!
    Even though it's from a few years ago, the voices are outstanding and

    time and this DVD really does it justice. I recommend it highly!

  • Verdi - Aida/Levine, Domingo, Millo
    Verdi's music is wonderful. The singers did a very good job. The staging was spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed the opera.

  • My favorite Aida - so far.
    I bought the VHS version instead of the DVD because the latter does not have any digital enhancements. So try getting a used VHS copy. Overall the set designs and presentations are excellent EXCEPT a tad dark in unexpected places, such as the victory march scenes.
    Placido Domingo as Radames is top notch although past his prime vocally. In Act 1, Celeste Aida sounded quite flat as compared to the Pavorati version. I must say that I prefer Franco Corelli's performance (see Art Of Singing DVD) much better... more info
