Unboxing my Puccini The Complete Operas Boxset

Believe it or not, I'm a HUGE Puccini fan! (My minor in school is Opera). So you bet I was pretty excited to score this collection.

My friend, can you answer me a question? Is there any translation in this booklet? Or is it everything in Italian? I mean, do the libretto are followed by a translation to the lyrics? Thank you very much. I'm very interested in buying the Puccini collection, but I'm still not certain which one to buy!

Manon Lescout....

La Boheme is my favorite also. ;)

This is a fine set, but then again there's EMI's 17 CD set, and two Decca sets, one from the earlier LP era and one from the later. All are value priced, even screaming deals if you shop around, so none is a mistake. But I don't know how one would decide which is the "best" either, and I bet a lot of folks like me who are more casual opera fans don't want to end up with a zillion cds of Puccini no matter how cheap.

Dear Jearseygirl003, you made a great mistake. I'm also a huge Puccini fan, but I will NOT buy this album. You' ve bought this box set, and if you want to have got other versions of tabarro, Schicchi or suor Angelica, you must buy these same recording again in complete album. In my opinion better way is to buy all, but in different albums.
