An unforgettable evening from the Vienna State Opera. Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's "picture-perfect production" (Oberösterreichische Nachrichten) and Massenet's most popular score provide a vocal and dramatic "feast for Gruberova... with her captivating high-notes and crystal-clear coloratura... Araiza's flexible, sensuous tenor thrilled the audience" (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
