Her Alfredo is Rolando Villaz‹n, one of the most exciting young tenors around; veteran baritone Renato Bruson sings the elder Germont. James Conlon, LA Opera's new music director, is conducting; the production is a newly refurbished version of the 1999 staging by Marta Domingo. The only remaining performance is next Sunday (September 17), but Decca is recording all three performances in the (all too short) run for release on DVD.
