I just received this DVD from Amazon and was very excited to watch it. Let me be clear...I am a die-hard fan of Montserrat Caballe (LA SUPERBA). I had the great pleasure of seeing her live every time she appeared at the Met in New York City...many, many thrilling performances. She does not fail us here in "Don Carlo". She has a great cast with her..Grace Bumbry (as the great mezzo she was before she made that transition to soprano in the 1970's), Giacomo Aragall, Renato Bruson, Simon Estes and Luigi Roni. The production is from the Theatre Antigue d'Orange in 1984. The Director is Jean-Claude Auvray and the Conductor is Thomas Fulton...both have done an excellent job.
The video and audio qualities are good. The Amazon description page does not state it but the available sound to select includes both DD 5.1 AND DTS 5.1. Now keep in mind the the Theatre Antique is an ancient Roman structure...it has a huge stage. Do not expect the great video-recording we would get from the Met, San Francisco or Covent Garden...it is somewhat primitive but adequately serves its purpose. The audio is far more advanced.
The bottom line is this...CABALLE!!! There are only 3 DVD performances of Caballe available: this one, her "NORMA" from this same theatre in 1974 with Vickers, and the 1976 "ADRIANA LECOUVREUR" from Tokyo with Carreras and Cossotto. At least we have these three performances to historically document her brilliant career.

Que grande Dª Montserrat, su voz estaba en pleno apogeo.
El elenco es para quitarse el sombrero.
Magnifico Jaime, soberbio Renato y sublime Simón, la Bumbry para mi, solo cumple.
La grabación y teniendo en cuenta que las cámaras eran de 3 tubos, está bastante
lograda.
Y el más grande de los craks continua siendo el gran "Sowulo", por compartir
estas joyas.
