About

Arthaus Musik is proud to present Volume II of Opera Highlights, an exciting new disc offering us the chance to get an insight into the opinions and motivations of some of the world’s greatest opera singers, and presenting new recordings and interviews produced especially for this DVD.
Opera Highlights is both a visually exciting introduction for new viewers to opera as well as a unique opportunity to see great singers talking to camera, then performing roles for which they are famous.
The opening title sequence has been specially designed by Pat Gavin, who has won countless awards for his innovative electronic graphics.
