Title: Stellar Tchaikovsky Performance
Product review: I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Hvorostovsky in this lead role with the Lyric Opera of Chicago this season. However, nothing would have topped the experience of seeing this live production of Eugene Onegin by the Metropolitan Opera. This production had a solid lead cast along with one of the best Tchaikovsky conductors out there. Hvorostovsky and Fleming have great chemistry on stage. The last tweleve minutes of the opera alone are worth the purchase of this dual disc. You really get wrapped up in the experience. Vargas brings tears to your eyes with his rendition of Lenski's Aria. If you're a fan of Tchaikovsky, beautiful music and a great story line, you'll love this opera. The bonus footage is a huge plus as well. I loved the orchestra rehearsal footage with Maestro Gergiev and the late great Beverly Sills interview backstage with Hvorostovsky and Fleming. This would be a great addition to any opera fans collection. Enjoy!
