Being a collection of live moments at the Met, this new album looks good to me. We may expect excerpts from War and Peace with Dmitri Hvorostovsky, I Puritani, Lucia di Lammemoor with Piotr Beczala, Rigoletto, Don Pasquale with Juan Diego Florez, Roméo et Juliette with Roberto Alagna, Les Contes d'Hoffmann with Joseph Calleja, and Don Giovanni.
