Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's classic film of Verdi's dark tragedy features the legendary Luciano Pavarotti as the dashing Duke of Mantua (celebrated for his aria "La donna e moblie"). Filmed on location and capturing all the drama and colour of Renaissance Italy, it also showcases two other great singers of our time - Ingvar Wixell as the hunch-backed court jester, and Edita Gruberova as his beautiful but ill-fated daughter.
