The Opera Gala

The Opera Gala

The Opera Gala is a 2007 concert from The Festival Theatre in Baden-Baden, Germany. It features soprano Anna Netrebko, mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca, baritone Ludovic Tézier, and tenor Ramón Vargas. Some of my favorite performances are L'elisir d'amore: "Una furtiva lagrima" (Vargas), Samson and Delilah: "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix" (Garanza), La bohème: "O soave fanciulla" (Vargas), (Netrebko), Giuditta: "Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiß" (Netrebko), "La danza" (Vargas), and the Carmen: "Toreador Song" (Tézier). This is a must see show for all opera fans.
