- La traviata is Verdi's most popular opera and one of the best loved of all stage works. Romance, tragedy and unforgettable tunes - this opera has it all.

- This beautiful open-air production of Verdi's Nabucco was one of the classical music highlights of summer 2007.

It is one of the most popular and famous pieces in the history of opera, with -among other gems- the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves (Va, pensiero..), known by young and old alike. This production is one of epic proportions: horses, special effects and more than 400 people take the stage. Recorded at the Austrian St. Margarethen Opera Festival with, among others, Igor Morosow, Simon Yang and Bruno Ribeiro. Opera.
