The Home of Opera series re-releases a stunning performance of the spectacular drama by Antonio Pappano, Jonas Kaufmann, and others, featuring popular conductor Antonio Pappano, who has Italian roots, and Italy's finest orchestra in a 2015 recording of Verdi's greatest opera, "Aida." Aida" in its entirety, recorded in 2015 by Antonio Pappano, a popular conductor with Italian roots, and Italy's finest orchestra. While studio recordings of large-scale operas have all but disappeared in the past 20 years, this is the first major recording in a long time, and this performance has become "the best Aida performance of our time" around the world. The soprano Anja Halteros, with her beautiful stage figure and powerful voice, and tenor Jonas Kaufmann, whose popularity is unquestionable worldwide, are featured in this spectacular drama of tragic love between a man and a woman torn between ancient Egypt and Ethiopia, and their performance and interpretation are overwhelmingly masterful. The luxury packaged edition with lyrics and bilingual translation originally released in 2015 has been discontinued and is being re-released as part of the Home of Opera series on a 2-CD set instead of the original 3-CD set.
