L'amour des trois oranges

With an unrivaled catalogue of over 450 complete opera recordings produced over the last 60 years -- and an illustrious succession of artists that today includes such names as Angela Gheorghiu, Natalie Dessay, Joyce DiDonato, Roberto Alagna, Antonio Pappano and Riccardo Muti -- EMI Classics, with its sister label Virgin Classics, can rightly claim to be the Home of Opera. This summer 6 more timeless operas join the series including Puccini's Tosca, Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and Prokofiev's L'Amour des Trois Oranges. Already available in the opera releases -- essential sets produced since 1953 by EMI Classics and Virgin Classics -- are such all-time great recordings as Lucie de Lammermoor, starring Natalie Dessay and Roberto Alagna, and Der Rosenkavalier, starring Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and conducted by Herbert von Karajan. Each CD multipack contains a 16-page booklet with introductions in English, German, French and Spanish and a bonus disc containing synopsis and libretto with translations.
