4/5 Good intro
  by Richard Godin (Nouvelle Caledonie)
Very good introduction to La Scala opera. The connaisseur might be a wee more demanding.

5/5 Great opera
  by S. Park (laguna beach, CA)
Lucia in this La Scala series was the best I have ever experienced, even better than Sutherland's. This was the first time I ever heard Mariella Devia( Lucia) singing and what a singing it was! Vincenzo la Scola as Edgardo was also superb. This Lucia alone is worth buying the whole series, in my opinion. Other operas were all of high quality, in singing, costume, staging. It might have something to do with the size of the theater but the sound from La Scala seems better than Metropolitan Opera's.

5/5 A great value!
  by P. Sutherland (Berea, Ohio, USA)
This collection of operas is a great introduction to opera and a great value for the price. Every title comes with the complete libretto and synopsis, too.

The production of Cosi Fan Tutte in this set launched my own love of opera. I think it's still hard to beat!

Highly recommended!

1/5 Dull La Scala
  by Robert Christopher (Copiague, NY United States)
I've been an opera fan since the 1950s and have seen and heard many performances. This collection is DULL! Richardo Muti conducts the orchestra as if he were half asleep. The singing is at a tempo that does not interest or excite. I was very disappointed. Don't waste your money on this collection.

4/5 The Deal of the Century!
  by Signor Destino (Norfolk,Virginia)
I,honestly, thought the price must be a misprint.What a fantastic collection of operas for a nominal price! Top drawer singers,conductors,costumes and scenery.My favorites are the "Cosi Fan Tutti" and "Attila". Fiordiligi & Dorabella's entrance duet is breathtaking. Samuel Ramey's Attila is legendary.His voce is so full of excitement and passion.I am a great fan of Renato Bruson.However, he succeeded in destroying the beauty of the sextet from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor. The projected scenery in the William Tell was unusual. Mirella Freni's Adriana was very moving. Her beauty of tone was phenomenal for her age. Great performances across the board. A wonderful acquisition for the novice or jaded opera enthusiast.
