Two of the biggest names in opera join forces for a live performance from historic Red Square in the heart of Moscow, captured in stunning sound and vision with 18 high definition cameras and 5.1 cinema surround sound. Recorded at a superb live concert on 19 June 2013, Anna Netrebko and Dmitri Hvorostovsky return to their native Russia, singing a brilliant programme of popular arias and duets from some of the world’s best-loved operas, including Tosca, Eugene Onegin, and, celebrating Verdi's bicentenary, Il trovatore.
They are accompanied by Russia's State Academic Symphony Orchestra “Evgeny Svetlanov” and the huge forces of the Academic Grand Choir Masters of Choral Singing, under the baton of Constantine Orbelian.
Every detail of the once-in-a-lifetime event is faithfully captured by director Frank Hof, whose work includes the memorable Anna Netrebko, Placido Domingo, and Rolando Villazon performance at Berlin’s Waldbuhne, which Classical CD Review called “an absolute knock-out”… The two brought “the audience to a stunned silence with the despairing aria from Eugene Onegin” Bloomberg reported.
7500 people were present on the Red Square, more than 400 cinemas have screened the concert worldwide. Channel 1 ( Russia) , ZDF (Germany) , Arte ( France, Germany) and ORF (Austria) all have been broadcasting the Red Square concert- literally millions of viewers have seen this great evening.
Composer: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Umberto Giordano, …
Performer: Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Anna Netrebko
Conductor: Constantine Orbelian
Orchestra/Ensemble: Russian State Academic Symphony Orchestra, Russian State Academy Chorus
Reviews: This certainly was the concert of a lifetime. I was in Moscow last summer and couldn't imagine my surprise when friends offered me a ticket to see Anna Netrebko and Dmitri Hvorostovsky my favorite Russian Opera stars performing on no less, Red Square. The Conductor, Constantine Orbelian led the wonderful State Symphony Orchestra of Russia with his requisite expertise. The sound quality was extraordinarily good for an outdoor event and the picture and sound quality DVD which I just purchased and watched is spectacular. The arias performed in the first half of the program showed Anna Netrebko and Dmitri Hvorostovsky in rare expressive form, performing Verdi in this most unusual setting. The atmosphere was that of a closely knit family which was there to show their love and appreciation for their favorite son and daughter! The weather was 'special ordered' for the event and couldn't have been more comfortable or inviting.Netrebko lavished the audience with arias from Vespri and Trovatore which have not yet been performed on the stage. She is definitely heading into the heavier and meatier roles with a passion and her own personal interpretive stamp. The second half of the concert showed Dmitri singing the Te Deum from Tosca (I hope that he will perform that role soon) with typical Hvorostovsky menace and tremendous vocal presence. Anna performed Giordano's La Mamma Morta with the kind of pathos and emotion that evokes memories of Maria Callas. Of course, a Red Square concert wouldn't be complete without Russian music and we were treated with an extraordinarily moving and touching final scene from Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. Onegin is Dmitri's signature role, and I have seen Dmitri perform this role all over the world at the greatest opera houses but, never, have I seen Anya in a more heartfelt and personally expressive performance than this one. You could actually see the tears in her eyes and hear the anguish in her voice. It seemed as if everything stopped.. the air stopped moving, people stopped breathing and even though we all know how the piece was going to send- we had wished and hoped that miraculously something would happen and those two lost souls would be united and would live happily ever after. Netrebko's Tatiana from that evening will remain in my heart forever. Constantine Orbelian supported every emotion and nuance with traditional expertise as well as offering the public tremendous and personal interpretations of Verdi's Overture to Forza and Tchaikovsky's Polonaise from Onegin. The chorus added a wonderful touch and performed with precision and vitality. The Encores- Silva's aria from Kalman's Die Czardasfurstin sung in Russian was riveting, colorful and rousing with Netrebko performing with rare abandon, then Dmitri sang Otche Chronie (Dark Eyes) as only he can and then they teamed up for a final encore of Russia's most famous international hit… Moscow Nights with the entire audience of 10,000 people singing along with them. What an experience- never to repeated and never to be forgotten. If you weren't lucky enough to be there on June 19th, 2013, then you'll have the thrill of a lifetime when you watch this unique DVD performed by not only Russia's best, but, the world's BEST operatic artists on the stage today.
