Les Huguenots is a monumental fresco featuring various impossible loves in the context of the Saint Bartholomew Massacre. Andreas Kriegenburg places these timeless conflicts of love and religion in an immaculate setting in which the costumes appear yet more flamboyant and the victims’ blood more violently red.

An all-star cast assembled for the Met’s first-ever performances of Rossini’s romantic retelling of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem The Lady of the Lake. Joyce DiDonato is Elena, the title heroine, who is being pursued by not one, but two tenors—setting off sensational vocal fireworks. Juan Diego Flórez is King James V of Scotland, disguised as the humble Uberto, and John Osborn sings his political enemy, and rival in love, Rodrigo Di Dhu. Complicating matters is the fact that Elena herself loves Malcolm, a trouser role sung by mezzo-soprano Daniela Barcellona, and that she is the daughter of Duglas (Oren Gradus), another of the king’s political adversaries. Paul Curran’s atmospheric production is conducted by Michele Mariotti.

A youthful cast brings Rossini’s immortal comedy to sparkling life, led by Christopher Maltman as Figaro, the resourceful barber and man-about-town of the title. The lovely Isabel Leonard is Rosina, the clever young woman at the center of the story, and Lawrence Brownlee sings Count Almaviva, the man who loves her and—with Figaro’s help—rescues her from the house of her elderly and smitten guardian, Bartolo, played by Maurizio Muraro. Paata Burchuladze is the bumbling music master Basilio, and rising conductor and bel canto specialist Michele Mariotti leads the Met’s musical forces in Bartlett Sher’s lively production.

In this high-definition film of Bellini's historical bel canto drama, "I Puritani", tenor superstar Juan Diego Flórez is partnered by new young Georgian soprano Nino Machaidze, in her first appearance on a Decca DVD. Joining them in a striking new staging by Pier'Alli at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna is celebrated bass baritone, Ildebrando D'Arcangelo (DG). The context is England's Civil War between the Roundheads (the Parliamentarians, or Puritans of the title) and the Cavaliers (Royalists). A love triangle between Arturo (a Puritan), Riccardo (a Royalist) and the beautiful Elvira results in a drama of escapes, disguises and captures, during which Elvira loses her reason, before a final pardon restores her senses and unites her with her beloved Arturo. The lead tenor role is notoriously difficult and Juan Diego Flórez shows no strain or difficulty throughout the role. Opera fans will undoubtedly be impressed with the overall production and the tenor's performance in particular.

«Набу́кко», или «Навуходоно́сор» (итал. Nabucco) — опера Джузеппе Верди в 4 действиях, 7 картинах на либретто Т. Солера, основанная на событиях, описанных в Библии. (Набукко — сокращённая итальянская интерпретация имени царя Навуходоносора II). Именно эта опера, третья в творчестве Верди, принесла ему настоящую славу. В ней повествуется о бедствиях евреев, об их пленении вавилонянами, а затем отпущении на родину царём Вавилона Навуходоносором. Премьера состоялась 9 марта 1842 года в театре «Ла Скала» в Милане. Первая постановка окончательной версии прошла в Театро Сан-Джакомо на Корфу в сентябре 1844. В состав оперы входит знаменитый «хор евреев» Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate — «Лети, мысль, на золотых крыльях».

Спустя три года после окончания Второй Мировой Войны, святой отец Ланкестер Мэррин оказывается на археологических раскопках, развернувшихся на территориях в восточной Африке, принадлежащих Британии. Здесь возглавляемая им группа исследователей обнаруживает Византийскую церковь, на удивление очень хорошо сохранившуюся несмотря на прошедшие века. В глубине церкви Мэррин и его соратники находят древний склеп сохранивший в себе следы проводимых здесь некогда сатанинских ритуалов и жестоких жертвоприношений. Местные жители пытаются убедить археологов в том, что вскрыв церковь, они освободили ужасного демона. В это верит только молодой священник отец Фрэнсис, который подозревает, что вышедший на волю мстительный дух вселился в маленького мальчика. Вскоре это становится очевидным и для Мэррина, который решает во чтобы то ни стало изгнать зло из ребенка, для чего ему приходится снова обратиться к Богу, веру в которого он утерял после пережитых им ужасов Второй Мировой Войны...
