Opera lovers worldwide will rejoice in, this first ever release of Karajan’s final Trovatore, featuring Plácido Domingo on DVD. Herbert von Karajan (1908-1989) not only conducted the opera, but he was also responsible for the stage direction. The recording was very rarely broadcast and this DVD draws on the original tapes held by Austrian Television (ORF). These have been extensively restored using state of the art technology. Thus this gem from the archives can now be enjoyed on DVD with enhanced sound and picture quality and the opera stars of this production shine in renewed splendour.
