Maybe you slept through the weekend and missed out on a monumental drop from DG? Which one, you ask? Oooooh, that 2-disc drop where Anna Netrebko and Elīna Garanča are getting rather cozy on the cover. Vincenzo Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi has been given the old dust-off by the marketing wizards.
With Anna Netrebko as Juliet and Elīna Garanča as Romeo (and Joseph Calleja as Tebaldo), the 2-CD set is from a live April 2008 recording at Vienna's Konzerthaus conducted by Fabio Luisi, doing his thang with the Wiener Symphoniker.
DG describes on their website "Anna's and Elīna's voices match like pearls from one oyster". Gross.
Opera Chic took some screenshots, but you can go here for the secksiness yourselves.
