    Magnificent! In spite of obvious defects in the script, the opportunity to
    to hear such great voices as Gobbi and Del Monaco and others--the insights
    into the life of Verdi make this DVD a true treasure. My wife and I
    will cherish this bargain basement video as a true treasure. It is
    beyond value. Thank you for making it available.

    would rather have had sub titles in stead of dubbing...
