I, too, have been crossing my fingers every day since I read “Operaman’s” review above. Been waiting for years for a complete version of that Met’s astounding celebration. I check the DG Situation daily and today I saw that they added more details…the Track Listings for DVD #1 and DVD #2. So, apparently, there are two DVDs….BUT…..DG simply divided the musty Pioneer version into the recent DG version. Same selections and timings. I did pre-order it anyway because I’m distinct that the Video and Audio will be far better than the stale one. I can’t imagine that DG will be issuing a more complete version…so this is gonna be it for all of us Met lovers. If anyone finds and my information is tainted, please let me know and right me. Thanks.

…but, to quote Spencer Tracy’s line from “Pat and Mike,” “what’s there, is cherce.”

How can you rob highlights from highlights? : The final duet from “Chenier,” sung by two of Spain’s greatest gifts to the world of music, Caballe and Carerras? McCracken, returning to the Met after a five-year absence, to bring down the house with Otello’s huge “Dio mi potevi”? Freni and Domingo’s “Otello” Duet? Sign and Pav’s from “Ballo”? The mind reels with a feast of the finest. This was the creme de la creme of the opera world, circa 1983.

Only a couple of minor cavils: Couldn’t they have retained Osie Hawkins’ introduction of the guests of honor in the second half (Rise Stevens and Marilyn Horne embracing after the latter’s “Mon Ceur,” Feruccio Tagliavini looking hopelessly bored during the “Faust” trio)? How about Moffo and Merrill’s co-farewell to the house with “Will You Remember? “?

But this is comparitively minor. What remains is truly an operatic feast of the finest.
