On July 7, the Waldbuhne amphitheatre in Berlin was host to "the greatest
voices of their day" as more than 20,000 spectators gathered to hear Anna
Netrebko, Rolando Villazon, and Placido Domingo in an open-air concert
celebrating the close of the World Cup tournament.
Deutsche Grammophon is bringing this extraordinary event - described by the
Berliner Morgenpost as "the stuff of myth" - to DVD, featuring the three
mega-stars performing music by Verdi, Puccini, Lehar, and many other beloved
melodies.
This live broadcast had an international audience of more than 8 million viewers
in Germany, Austria, Norway, France, Italy, Mexico, Indian and South America,
generating waves of enthusiastic acclaim in the international press and was
considered the biggest live classical broadcast event since The Three Tenors.
