Sir Georg Solti, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, and others talk about Verdi´s opera - Simon Boccanegra -- you can also see some highlight performances of this 1991 Convent Garden production. Personally I prefer the MET production, I think the characters are much more colourful and alive, especially when you've got Domingo and Te Kanawa as a couple; they have chemistry which, in my opinion, doesn't happen in this Covent Garden production with Kiri Te Kanawa and Michael Sylvester...

I saw this production when this was new and think that this is fab - Kiri is in her best, freshest voice - at the Met she was not so fresh despite being alongside Domingo, who was marvelous of course.....

In general, and again in my humble opinion, the MET production is superior. All the characters seem more real. Here, I felt the performers were not performing but just singing and that's evident in the love duets... they seem everything but in love.

I love him!! Sir George is... amazing!, so sweet!!And she... She's she!!, with her unique velvet voice...Completely agree about the MET production! I don't know very well Agache's voice or work but, about the main character, I guess I still prefer Chernov...Thanks!! ;D*
