DVD-Y496 Verdi Trovatore 2008 Genoa VIDEO

here is the telecast from a local TV (Primocanale) of the first performance in the L.A.Opera production. Due to a series of strikes, the third one for the schools became the premiere: this accounts for the often overe-entusiastic acclamations! I was particularly impressed by two young singers, Bilyy and Siri.
