Giuseppe Verdi: Aida

Luciano Pavarotti leads an exceptional cast in this magnificent live recording from La Scala in Milan, with Ghena Dimitrova, Maria Chiara, Nicolai Ghiaurov, and Juan Pons all in top form. Luca Ronconi's magnificent production of Verdi's beloved masterpiece was a success, and Mauro Pagano's monumental sets perfectly captured the impressive splendor of the land of the pharaohs and the ochre tones of the desert.
