Key
Rare Public Domain Opera Videos Coming soon: Photos Articles News Would you like to contribute an article? Please We are working on a Color Code for titles. Starting 1 January 2000, we will add this information into the list. Operas (Full-length or Excerpts) will be black. This will apply to both live performances and filmed performances. Recitals or In Concert Performances will be Red-Brown Compilations (that means a collection of short pieces) will be Light Green Please note. These collections come from many different sources. Quality from clip to clip may vary. Do not expect commecial quality tapes. Movies (dramatic motion pictures) with an opera theme or an appearance by a famous singer will be Dark Blue |
NEW!PAL-VHS We can now offer PAL-VHS tapes once again! These PAL tapes are $18.00 each.
WARNING: The quality of these PAL tapes is NOT AS GOOD AS NTSC-VHS! The reason for this is that these are one generation off the NTSC originals. If a tape is described as "murky" in NTSC, it will be even MORE murky in PAL.. If you are at all fussy, do not order PAL, you will not be happy.
What
is PAL and SECAM? They are two different recording standards used in
most of Europe, South America, Australia and certain other countries. They
are NOT used in the United States. If you do not know what your VCR plays,
please ask your dealer.
We have tried to describe each film accurately since we do not want anyone to be disappointed. In our FAQ, there are more exact descriptions of the terms we use for quality: click here.
Note: Home VCRs vary widely.
For these videos, as with any videos not recorded on your own machines,
we strongly suggest you utilize the tracking controls located on the face
of your VCR and/or your remote.
About the LP Speed in Europe and Australia: The LP speed allows for up to four hours of time on one tape with not much loss of quality. However, some European and Australian NTSC machines do not play these LP tapes properly. In some cases, LP tapes appear to be blank on European NTSC machines even though they play perfectly on American NTSC machines. We are beginning to mark these tapes a little bit at a time, but if you live in Europe or Australia please make sure that your machine will play NTSC LP speed.
Subtitles: Unless
a tape is clearly marked English Subtitles, please assume
that there are no subtitles.
If
you can think of a way for us to make this clearer, please feel free to
write.
Delivery Time: Continental United States Please
allow 3-4 weeks for actual delivery. UPS is generally faster.
Canada, Europe, Asia: Please
allow 4-6 weeks for actual delivery.

Subtitles: Unless
a tape is clearly marked English Subtitles, please assume
that there are no subtitles. We specify No English Subtitles on
some tapes, but assume that all others have no subtitles as well. This
has to do with how our list was typed in the first place. Thank you.
