DVD-Y7 Beethoven Fidelio 2006 Valencia VIDEO

on Oct. 25. 2006 the first opera season of the opera house in Valencia (Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía) was opened with a performance of Beethoven's Fidelio. I don't think that this is this first night performance, but was recorded during the series of performances in October/November 2006. Recorded from Classica a few months ago, also including a documentary film of appr 30 mins. about Valencia, the opera house and the production, here is
