Don Carlo, crown prince of Spain, falls in love with Elisabeth of Valois, originally promised to him but later married to his father King Philip, as part of the terms of a peace treaty between France and Spain. Incited to treason against his father on behalf of the Flemish, and accused of adultery with the queen, Don Carlo is cast into prison. Escaping, he flees to the monastery of St. Just, where Elisabeth comes to bid him farewell. The lovers are surprised by the King and the Grand Inquisitor, but Don Carlo is protected from them when the ghostly Charles V emerges from the tomb and draws him into the cloister

Simon Boccanegra by Giuseppe Verdi( )

4 editions published between 1984 and 2008 in Italian and French and held by 54 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The role of Simon Boccanegra is one of the capstones of Verdi's baritone repertoire. Sherrill Milnes gives a stunning portrayal of the 14th century Genoa doge, singing with both power and poetry, and reminding everyone why audiences acclaimed him the great American Verdi baritone of the day. Anna Tomowa-Sintow is Amelia, his long-lost daughter, in love with one of Boccanegra's most bitter political enemies. James Levine reveals his passion for Verdi's score, bringing out all the drama while reveling in its aching lyricism

Don Carlo by Giuseppe Verdi( Visual )

2 editions published between 1980 and 2010 in Italian and held by 53 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

James Levine leads an all-star ensemble in this memorable telecast of Verdi's most ambitious opera, seen in John Dexter's classic production. Renata Scotto is Elizabeth of Valois, the French princess who becomes the wife of Philip II, King of Spain (Paul Plishka)--although she loves his son, Don Carlo (Vasile Moldoveanu). Sherill Milnes sings Posa, Carlo's friend and the king's advisor who is secretly aiding a rebellion, and Tatiana Troyanos is Princess Eboli, the King's scheming mistress who nevertheless wants Don Carlo for herself. Jerome Hines rounds out the cast in the small but crucial role of the sinister Grand Inquisitor. This recording is taken from the "James Levine: Celebrating 40 Years at the Met" DVD box set

Simon Boccanegra by Giuseppe Verdi( Visual )

1 edition published in 1984 in Italian and held by 52 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Sherrill Milnes brought vivid theatrical force to his portrait of Simon Boccanegra, the 14th century Doge of Genoa who battles private demons and political enemies. Only the greatest Verdi baritones manage to put their individual stamp on this monumental role, and Milnes succeeds brilliantly, mixing poetry and power to reveal Boccanegra's heart to the audience. Anna Tomowa-Sintow is the long-lost daughter he finds, but, he discovers, she loves Gabriele Adorno (Vasile Moldoveanu), a man determined to destroy him. James Levine's superb conducting and Tito Capobianco's dramatic production add to the gripping performance

Cavalleria rusticana by Pietro Mascagni( )

1 edition published in 1985 in Italian and held by 52 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

With the intense singing actress Hildegard Behrens as Santuzza, there is no doubt that Cavalleria Rusticana is a life and death struggle. Vasile Moldoveanu is Turiddu, the ne'er do well who got the unmarried Santuzza pregnant, then left her for another man's wife. The intensity blazes just as high in Pagliacci, with the incandescent Jon Vickers as Canio, the clown who must go on stage knowing his wife (Jeannette Pilou) is planning to run away with a younger man. The magnificent Sherrill Milnes is Tonio
