Great Arias: Ruslan and Lyudmila (1996)

The five stars of Mikhail Glinka's extraordinary opera masterpiece "Ruslan and Lyudmila" discuss their role, the music and perform an aria from the opera. Anna Netrebko's performance as "Lyudmila" is nothing short of breathtaking. Stage Director Lotfi Mansouri, Conductor Maestro Valery Gergiev accompanied by the Chorus and Orchestra of The Kirov interpret magnificently Glinka's musical vision of Russian folktale and nationalism, which cast the style for Russian composers over the next hundred years.
