About

Filmed at the Metropolitan Opera in 1983, Berlioz's masterpiece Les Troyens is a tragic tale of love and fate based on Virgil's Aeneid. Under the baton of James Levine, Jessye Norman is stunning in the part of Cassandra and Plácido Domingo makes for a strong, compelling Aeneas. This benchmark performance was hailed by both critics and audiences and performed to greatest critical acclaim.

Norman's role debut as Cassandra emerged as one her most significant and compelling performances, and this DVD is also a stand-out release among Domingo’s extensive filmography.

Jessye Norman commanded the stage…Tatiana Troyanos played her part with impressive dignity. She and Plácido Domingo spun out their great love duet in exquisite fashion...Levine’s accompaniment caught the mood of sustained ecstasy and held it” The New York Times
