  • Have seen him many times in house, best tenor alive.

  • the met nyc 1988 it was on PBS and was terrific all of them but Neil was on fire, really great and he can act a great show with even the camera work being exceptional, I taped it on VHS at the time and it never has been replayed sad-- troyanous fine is gone now, Morris also was very good here.

  • I agree with all of the posters here about this performance ... and WHY isn't it out on DVD yet?? I hope it's not because the "powers that be" deem the "classic" version of the opera as hopelessly out of date and lame (News Flash: most of us opera lovers prefer it this way). Besides, Shicoff and Troyanos will never grow old.

    If this performance was made available, it would sell thousands of copies, I'm sure.  Hello ... anyone at the MET listening out there?

  • I had forgotten was a tremendous voice Troyanos had. As far as Shicoff is concerned, I don't think any tenor could have sung this role better.

  • Why is this not on DVD? Neil is womderful!

  • I just adore Neil and Tatiano--what a team!!

  • Wow! Thank you for introducing me to Shicoff. This is powerful. I have loved Troyanose for many years, but never saw this before. Terrific.

  • @vilabreze I will pay for a copy of this even if it's only a computer file and not a real DVD... I have a tape but it's going to fall apart any second and this production of this opera have been my favorite since I was literally six years old. Please please please?

  • Magnificent singing. Shicoff was greatest tenor of his generation!

    Where can I get a DVD of this performance - please inform.

    Thanks

  • @WolfofSega I just found this page on youtube. Is there a DVD of this production? I lost my tape years ago (it got taped over) and I'd love to own it again.

  • Absolutely agree! I have the recording and broke into goosebumps from the fist second of watching! Shicoff is a very dramatic Hoffmann, and the rest of the cast is fantastic, all of which creates a gripping performance.

  • Metropolitan opera March 2, 1988. He also did the radio brdcst a couple of weeks before of it in an equally great performance, same cast, this one was done live and Brdcst on PBS TV.
