"Villazóns triumphant return to the stage in Verdis grandest opera. Nicholas Hytners acclaimed production was the highlight of Royal Opera Houses 2007/08 season. A star-is-born performance for soprano Marina Poplavskaya. Featuring commanding performances by Simon Keenlyside, Ferruccio Furlanetto and Eric Halfyarson. The first new production of the 5 Act complete Don Carlo at The Royal Opera House in 50 years with sets and costumes by Bob Crowley, direction by Nicholas Hytner and an enviable cast, this production is worthy of the greatness of Verdis masterpiece. Supported by dazzling coups de thêatre, and by Antonio Pappano's band in scintillating form, he directs with such vivid forcefulness that Verdi's great rumination on theocracy, and on the battle between patriarchy and the brotherhood of man, emerges in its full beauty. This full five-act version is long, but time flies thanks to transcendent performances by Poplavskaya and Villazón, and to the beauty emanating from the pit. (The Independent)
