Although I agree with the other review in terms of performance quality, I found both the picture and sound extremely poor. This is only for die-hard lovers of this opera.

This is a superb musical performance of what I find to be the most rewarding of Rossini's serious operas. There is "official" DVD of Rossini's less compelling rewrite of the opera from Venice, same conductor & director which is very good, but every singer is superior in this performance from Peraro.Ramey is at the top of his game. Gasdia is awesome. The undervalued Valenti-Terrani is fantastic and Merritt is excellent. By the way, the conductor is Claudio Scimone (not Julius Rudel) . Sound is good but the picture isn't great. Anyone interested in glorious singing will not let that deter them from buying this . Very highly recommended.
