Title: Opera for the common folks
Review: Opera, in general, is considered an elitist art form, targeting middle age and over and well heeled patrons. This DVD, thanks to the "Netrebko" phenomenal package and Paterson's intelligent directing, brought opera to the masses who knew nothing about opera. The more I watch it the more I like it for its intended purpose and artistic value. No wonder, in Europe, this DVD outsold Beyonce's and Spears'. Classical music, and especially opera, is going through hard times competing for the entertainment dollar. What Netrebko and Paterson did is unique, they deserve credit, and we need more of the same. This venue is the best marketing tool I've ever seen to generate interest in opera among common folks and especially youth breathing and living through music videos. This DVD of five choreographed-MTV style-popular arias deserves 5 stars. The single star on top was entered accidentally.Constantine A. PapasEl Paso, TX
