We have given the new Giselle from Kultur a "B+" as well as updated the thumbnails for all three Giselle HDVDs available. We have also added new HDVDs availabe for pre-order from Opus Arte: Fidelio, Les Troyens, and Acis and Galatea. [February 8]

Gordon Smith is a friend who lives in Nimes. He and his friends watch opera, ballet, and concert HDVDs at his home theater. Gordon and around a dozen others just watched the Opus Arte "Otello." Following our scheme, they graded it "B." No argument here. On our Alphalist we just changed our grade for "Otello" from "C" to "B." [February 6]
