10. Opera Winner: Puccini, Il Trittico - Royal Opera House, Antonio Pappano
What the judges said: “It has everything a prize-winning DVD of Puccini's Il trittico could need - an interesting and emotionally involving production; excellent playing and (mostly) singing; and filming of the highest quality that today's technology affords. For a work that has long hovered on the fringes of the opera repertoire, this was potentially a world-beating combination of virtues.”
