Ballo is one of my favourite operas, but I was strangely ambivalent to this recording. Yes the cast was starry, but the huge stage and auditorium robbed it of atmosphere. Domingo and Nucci were as always excellent,Josephine Bairstow has a wonderful voice but gurns dreadfully, Sumi Jo has a wonderful voice,but she doesn't suit a 'pants' role and every time she came on reminded me of Ronnie Corbett.Not my favourite recording of this opera.
