Known to be as smooth as silk, as polished as fine silver, and as cool as ice, the so-called
Rat Pack
of the mid-20th century were the hippest cats in town. Made up of Frank Sinatra and his talented cronies, including Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., this group of entertainers performed together frequently in the baroque casinos of Las Vegas, most notably the Sands Hotel. RAT PACK--LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS, is not a performance by the original members, but rather a dead-on tribute show enacted in the Sands` famed Copa Room. Three hilarious performers take on the legendary personas of Sinatra, Martin, and Davis in what turns out to be a show that offers not only some fantastic song and dance, but also a full-on recreation of a mood of decadence and indulgence that only Vegas can offer. Songs performed include
I`ve Got You Under My Skin,
Luck Be a Lady,
and
My Way.

Although the famous opera has been interpreted and performed in many different ways, few have taken to the production of MADAMA BUTTERFLY with the same gusto and guile as soprano Anna Moffo. Fully inhabiting the role of Cio-Cio San, Moffo pulls off a stunning performance in this production, which was filmed on January 24th, 1956. Incredibly Moffo had barely performed in a major opera before this performance, but her name soon resonated throughout the opera world as news of her talents spread. A dazzling career followed, but it was in this production that her roots were firmly planted. Presented here in full, this is a great opportunity to witness a blossoming performer in a remarkable production of a classic opera.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Mono - Italian Subtitles - English, French, German - Optional

Some of the greatest opera stars in the history of the genre unite for this performance, which falls under the studied eye of the legendary Herbert Von Karajan. Verdi`s MESSA DA REQUIEM is the piece that artists such as Leontyne Price, Luciano Pavarotti, Nicolai Ghiaurov, and Fiorenza Cossotto bring to life, executing the work with the poise and precision that has catapulted them to the hallowed heights of the opera world. Henri-Georges Clouzot directs throughout, while the performance takes place in the lofty surroundings of the Teatro alla Scala di Milano.
