I will have to buy the set.
Stayed up to watch Die Walküre and didn't make it to the end (2:30AM on the Spokane station). Too late for me.

Watched "Tales of Hoffman" Les Contes d'H...)" again recently. Always enjoyed this one, and the Barcarolle is an earworm I don't mind.

Hear Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca sing it. Youtube:

Caballé and Horne also on Youtube, and the young and beautiful Lordeschu's (sp?).
