Semiramide
This seemed a fascinating opera by one of my favourite opera composers with very good performances re singing and acting and its production. There were 2 discs as the opera lasts some 230 mins. There were gaps in the subtitles in disc 1 but these occurred with repetitive sections and so were probably deliberate. Unfortunately, there were no sub titles on disc 2 as when the 2nd disc was inserted there was no setting session. The setting for sub-titles on disc 1 was lost. This may be due to faults in my player or its operator but it partly ruined the opera after an initial 2 hour investment in time. Any help for future such double discs?.
