Excerpts from the gala were released by [[Deutsche Grammophon]] on a 72-minute CD, a 161-minute VHS videocassette and a 161-minute double Laserdisc in 1996, and on a 293-minute double DVD in 2005. ==Background== [[James Levine]] made his début at the [[Metropolitan Opera]] at the age of twenty-seven. On 5 June 1971, he conducted a matinée performance of ''[[Tosca]]'' with [[Grace Bumbry]] in the title role, [[Franco Corelli]] as Cavaradossi and [[Peter Glossop]] – also making his Met début – as Scarpia. Levine was the longest serving conductor in the Met's history, becoming its principal conductor in 1973, its music director in 1976 and its inaugural artistic director in 1986. At the time of his gala, he had led the Met in 1,646 performances of sixty-eight operas, twenty-one of which he had introduced into the company's repertoire. He had also notably initiated the Met's series of television broadcasts with a production of ''[[La Bohème]]'' starring [[Luciano Pavarotti]] and [[Renata Scotto]] in 1977.<ref name=cd>''James Levine's 25th Anniversary Metropolitan Opera Gala'', conducted by [[James Levine]], [[Deutsche Grammophon]] CD, 449-177-2, 1996</ref><ref name=dvd/> The Met celebrated the silver anniversary of Levine's arrival there with a concert on 27 April 1996. Fifty-eight soloists contributed to a gala that lasted from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m. on the following morning. They performed on three sets: an [[Ezio Frigerio]] design for Act 1 of ''[[Francesca da Rimini (Zandonai)|Francesca da Rimini]]'', a gift of Mrs Donald D. Harrington; a [[Günther Schneider-Siemssen]] design for Act 2 of ''[[Arabella]]'', a gift in part of Mrs Michael Falk; and a Schneider-Siemssen design for Act 2 of ''[[Tannhäuser (opera)|Tannhäuser]]'', a gift of the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation and of the [[Metropolitan Opera Guild]]. The gala as a whole was sponsored by Mrs Emily Fisher Landau. Its television broadcast was sponsored by Mrs Harrington, the Texaco Philanthropic Foundation, Inc., and the [[National Endowment For the Arts]], in association with [[Deutsche Grammophon]], the United Kingdom's [[BBC Worldwide]] Television, Japan's [[NHK]], Holland's [[Nederlandse Programma Stichting]], Denmark's [[DR (broadcaster)|Danmarks Radio]], the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] and Sweden's [[Sveriges Television]].<ref name=dvd>''James Levine's 25th Anniversary Metropolitan Opera Gala'', conducted by James Levine, Deutsche Grammophon DVD, B00004602-09, 2005</ref> ==Performances== {| class="wikitable" |+ Performances<ref name=cd/><ref name=dvd/> |- !

Tim Page called it a “glorious, crazy, songful party”,<ref name=wp/> while Martin Bernheimer described it as a "mega-monster concert", a "shameless, shapeless, formless smorgasbord of arias and ensembles", "a parade of disparate singers striking poses in competitive evening attire" in which "the assembled women blew a crescendo of kisses to their beaming boss out front".<ref name=lat/> For Neil Crory it was “the gala-to-end-all-galas”. <ref name=oc/> [[J.B. Steane]], reviewing the CD release in ''[[Gramophone (magazine)|Gramophone]]'' in December 1998, wrote: "[o]ut come the stars, one by one or two by two and then six of them in a galaxy. Some have been in the firmament a long time, others are almost new. But all are there ... to pay tribute".<ref name=gr/> Reviewing Levine’s performance at the podium, Mike Silverman, for ‘’The Associated Press’’, said he "conducted the Met's wonderful orchestra with love and enthusiasm".<ref name=ap/> Bernheimer wrote that Levine’s guidance of the excellent orchestra was “sympathetic if sometimes loud and sometimes inflexible” but that the gala began with a somewhat lethargic treatment of the overture to ''Rienzi''.<ref name=lat/> Page believed that none of the soloists could outshine the orchestra and their conductor. Thanks to Levine, the Met's pit was home to "one of the most responsive and virtuosic ensembles in the world", and it was remarkable that he could "preside so effortlessly and so idiomatically over such a range of musical styles, over so many hours".<ref name=wp/> Of especial interest to reviewers were two prominent up and coming artists, Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu [appearing one day after their wedding. To Page, Alagna had "a light, sweet and supple voice of moderate size (some high notes that were both delicate and ringing) and a not inconsiderable dramatic ability", but it was far too soon to bracket him with Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti. Gheorghiu was much more impressive, with "a voice of unusual and haunting timbre, a distinctive creative personality [and] attention to the sheer phonic sound of the words she sings".<ref name=wp/> Silverman was also impressed by Alagna's "lovely" contribution while Bernheimer felt their duet was, in a positive manner, "refined and sugary".<ref name=ap/><ref name=lat/> Silverman praised Renée Fleming "whose soprano voice is as beautiful as any in memory".<ref name=ap/> Crory called Fleming “stunning”, noting an “expressive, detailed” excerpt from ''Louise'', which Page also felt was "luscious and immaculate", and Bernheimer credited Fleming with the most beautiful vocalism of the entire concert.<ref name=oc/><ref name=wp/><ref name=lat/> Silverman praised Bryn Terfel’s "ebullient" Leporello and said, of his performance alongside Alagna in the duet from ''The Pearl Fishers'', that Terfel's "booming, mellifluous baritone and utter ease and gracefulness as a performer [marked] him as one in a million". He was "sure to be one of the superstars of the next generation".<ref name=ap/>.Page praised Federica von Statde singing “Voi che sapete” from ''Le nozze di figaro'': "Opera has recently offered little more wonderful than von Stade's interpretation of that famous ardent, hormone-crazed pubescent boy". . Crory also found her "hysterically funny" in the tipsy aria from ''La Périchole''.<ref name=oc/><ref name=wp/> Silverman felt that Jane Eaglen, in the Immolation Scene from Götterdämmerung , was worthy of sharing billing with Birgit Nilsson.<ref name=ap/> Bernheimer made light of Eaglen's appearance, as "a Wagnerian diva straight from a ''New Yorker'' cartoon", by means of stressing that it did not much matter what Brünnhilde looked like if she had a voice as overwhelming as a tsunami.<ref name=lat/> Crory singled out for praise "radiant" Deborah Voigt, and "appropriately sun-filled" Ruth Ann Swenson, while noting Dolora Zajick "brought the house down" in her "O don fatale".<ref name=oc/> Bernheimer concurred with the latter sentiment, saying Zajick sang with "full-throated bravura".<ref name=lat/> Silverman praised Jerry Hadley, Richard Leech, Heidi Grant Murphy, and von Otter, while saying Dawn Upshaw was "typically simple, silvery and winning" in Mozart's "Deh! Vieni, non tardar".<ref name=ap/> Jorden found Domingo still stylish and felt Bryn Terfel acquitted himself well. He highly praised Alfredo Kraus, adored the Karita Mattila and Håkan Hagegård duet, as well as that between Catherine Malfitano and Dwayne Croft. Ultimately, Jorden felt that Carlo Bergonzi stole the show, as the "gold standard" of the night.<ref name=pb/> Bernheimer gave praise to "strident" Sharon Sweet in ''La forza del destino'' and the seductive, flirtatious Watch Duet for Karita Mattila and Hakån Hagegård. He also argued that Plácido Domingo and Samuel Ramey were comfortingly stellar in "Faust", Ramey for once being allowed to perform without baring his chest. Bernheimer opined that Deborah Voigt, Bryn Terfel, Ruth Ann Swenson, Aprile Millo and Gabriela Beňačková were equally impressive in their celestial wattage, that Carlo Bergonzi was touching and elegant in ''Luisa Miller'', and Alfredo Kraus amazed with his suavity and staying power as Werther and Hoffmann, while Raymond Gniewek played an exquisite violin solo in ''I Lombardi''. Finally, he felt that Catherine Malfitano and Dwayne Croft provided one of the evening's most successful passages of authentic music drama in a "pyrexic" scene from ''Eugene Onegin''.<ref name=lat/> Page reserved his highest praise for Plácido Domingo, combining "magnificent vocalizing and the most acute artistic intelligence" in ''Ernani'' and ''Faust''. Also outstanding, he felt, were Carlo Bergonzi and Alfredo Kraus, skillfully making the most of resources depleted by old age; Ileana Cotrubas, "ripely and irresistibly nostalgic" in ''Giuditta''; and Ruth Ann Swenson, compensating for her technical deficiencies in a coloratura showpiece from Roméo et Juliette with character and intelligence.<ref name=wp/> One of the more divisive elements was Waltraud Meier's performance of Isolde's Narrative and Curse. Bernheimer felt Meier sang with "thrilling ferocity" while Jorden was derisive of Meier's vocal abilities and her inaccurate reading of the notes in the score. Silverman found Meier's performance "thrilling" but added that he felt she was a mezzo-soprano venturing into soprano territory, and the stress evident in her highest notes made one anxious as to whether she was pursuing a path that was right for her.<ref name=ap/><ref name=pb/><ref name=lat/> All reviewers had criticisms too. Jorden was unappy with Thomas Hampson's "tiny voice" and Richard Leech sounding tired in the Cilea piece. He felt that Fleming was a "mess", sounding "like a sloshed saloon singer" during "Depuis le jour" and that, while Roberto Alagna's uneven voice showed promise, Angela Gheorghiu's voice was "shot to hell".<ref name=pb/> To Crory, the gala had not been consistent in quality. There were "a few blazing performances", but also "many that merely smouldered and others that simply failed to ignite".<ref name=oc/> Silverman noted that there were very few younger singers although older singers such as Bergonzi, Kraus and Domingo were dominant.<ref name=ap/> Jorden, generally, defended this, feeling the older singers were stronger.<ref name=pb/> To Silverman, one of the lowlights was "a mannered, diva-ish rendition by Jessye Norman, with high notes that consistently went flat, of an aria from Berlioz's Damnation of Faust".<ref name=ap/> Page believed that the gala's programme was typical of the repertoire of the Levine era but lacked any unifying theme otherwise. It was "a sort of melodious circus – a celestial vaudeville". There were consequently many awkward transitions. For example, Jane Eaglen's noble rendition of the immolation scene from ''Götterdämmerung'' was followed by the broad comedy of Frederica von Stade in the tipsy aria from ''La Périchole''; the effect was to "dissipate the solemn afterglow of the one and make the other seem goofy and tasteless". Page further argued that Håkan Hagegård and Karita Mattila were guilty of "campy snickering" in ''Die Fledermaus'', Jerry Hadley perpetrated "vulgar Mario Lanza-isms" in ''The land of smiles'', and that Ghena Dimitrova, Franco Farina and Juan Pons were "third-rate" in ''Un ballo in maschera''. Most dismissively, Page argued that Sharon Sweet's mere appearance at the gala was "difficult to explain".<ref name=wp/> Bernheimer had numerous complaints. Jessye Norman perpetrated the evening's "most mannered" selection in a "crooned, roared and sighed" performance of "D'amour l'ardente flamme" that was so erratic in pitch as to present Berlioz as bitonal. Grace Bumbry was a wobbly old Dalila, and Gwyneth Jones an even wobblier Turandot. Dawn Upshaw's eloquent ornamentation in a "silver-bell" "Deh! Vieni, non tardar" was jarringly followed by Jerry Hadley slathering on the schmalz in "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz". Maria Ewing "yowled" Gershwin's "My man's gone now" with her hands rather oddly thrust into her pockets. Kiri Te Kanawa's honeyed performance of an aria from ''Don Giovanni'' was accompanied by "comic-vamp routines". Ghena Dimitrova, Franco Farina and Juan Pons sang a trio from ''Un ballo in maschera'' as though working in some theatre in the provinces. James Morris, on the other hand, raised concerns for the health of his voice by the way in which he delivered Wotan's Farewell in his "fraying basso".<ref name=lat/> Bernheimer also found time to make critiques of the clothing choices of the luminary performers at this special event. As far as clothing was concerned, the contributors most deserving of an award were Ileana Cotrubas for sporting a "gigantic Christmas bow", Mark Oswald for losing his tie and vest in ''Don Pasquale'' and "the various cleavage divas who lent new meaning to the concept of heaving bosoms".<ref name=lat/> ==Broadcast and home media== The gala was televised in a live transmission on [[PBS]], and was also broadcast in Australia, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.<ref name=dvd/> In 1996, Deutsche Grammophon released versions of the gala in three formats. Thirteen excerpts were released on a 72-minute CD (catalogue number 449-177-2), accompanied by a 24-page insert booklet with an essay by Cory Ellison in English, French, German and Italian, and with production photographs of Alagna, Terfel, Fleming, Domingo, Ramey, Cotrubas, Zajick, Te Kanawa, Hong, Hadley, Robbins, Swenson, Mattila, Hagegård, Kraus, Bumbry, Voigt, von Stade, von Otter, Murphy, Nilsson and Levine.<ref name=cd/> Twenty excerpts were issued on a 161-minute pair of CLV (constant linear velocity) CX-encoded Laserdiscs (catalogue number 072-551-1) with 4:3 NTSC colour video and digital audio.<ref name=ld>''James Levine's 25th Anniversary Metropolitan Opera Gala'', conducted by James Levine, Deutsche Grammophon LD, 072-551-1, 1996</ref> The same excerpts were issued on a VHS videocassette (catalogue number 072-451-3) with 4:3 PAL colour video and digital audio.<ref>''James Levine's 25th Anniversary Metropolitan Opera Gala'', conducted by James Levine, Deutsche Grammophon VHS, 072-451-3, 1996</ref> Crory felt that the video release made a strong choice in terms of the material chosen for preservation.<ref name=oc/> J.B. Steane's view was mixed. He praised Fleming and Swenson, but the album's senior contributors sounded below their best, and even their younger colleagues never rose to real greatness. Steane speculated this was partly to do with the disc's audio quality. Fleming's and Bryn Terfel's voices did not sound as attractive on the CD as they did when heard in person. Indeed, the playing of the Met orchestra was more enjoyable to listen to than any of the singers.<ref name=gr/> In 2005, Deutsche Grammophon released thirty-three excerpts from the gala on a 293-minute pair of DVDs (catalogue number B0004602-09), with 4:3 NTSC colour video and audio in PCM stereo and an ersatz 5.1-channel surround sound upmix in both DTS and Dolby Digital. The DVDs include an interview with Levine, a picture gallery and trailers, and are accompanied by a 12-page insert booklet with an essay by Kenneth Chalmers in English only.<ref name=dvd/> Numerous contributions were not included on any of the home media releases, including those by [[Maria Ewing]], [[Gwyneth Jones (soprano)|Gwyneth Jones]], Richard Leech, Jessye Norman and [[Sharon Sweet]], while an excerpt from ''Werther'' sung by Alfredo Kraus was only on the CD.<ref name=wp/><ref name=ap/><ref name=lat/> ==Personnel== ===Artists=== {{Div col|colwidth=20em|rules=yes}} * [[Roberto Alagna]] (born 1963), [[tenor]] * [[June Anderson]] (born 1952), [[soprano]] * [[Charles Anthony (tenor)|Charles Anthony]] (1929–2012), tenor * [[Gabriela Beňačková]] (born 1947), soprano * [[Carlo Bergonzi (tenor)|Carlo Bergonzi]] (1924–2014), tenor * [[Grace Bumbry]] (1937–2023), [[mezzo-soprano]] * [[Ileana Cotrubas]] (born 1939), soprano * James Courtney, bass-baritone * [[Dwayne Croft]], baritone * [[Ghena Dimitrova]] (1941–2005), soprano * [[Plácido Domingo]] (born 1941), tenor * [[Jane Eaglen]] (born 1960), soprano * [[Rosalind Elias]] (1930–2020), mezzo-soprano * Franco Farina, tenor * [[Renée Fleming]] (born 1959), soprano * [[Ferruccio Furlanetto]] (born 1949), [[bass (voice type)|bass]] * [[Angela Gheorghiu]] (born 1965), soprano * [[Christine Goerke]] (born 1969), soprano * [[Jerry Hadley]] (1952–2007), tenor * [[Håkan Hagegård]] (born 1945), [[baritone]] * [[Thomas Hampson]] (born 1955), baritone * [[Hei-Kyung Hong]] (born 1959), soprano * [[Kiri Te Kanawa]] (born 1944), soprano * [[Alfredo Kraus]] (1927–1999), tenor * [[Catherine Malfitano]] (born 1948), soprano * [[Karita Mattila]] (born 1960), soprano * [[Waltraud Meier]] (born 1956), soprano * [[Susanne Mentzer]] (born 1957), mezzo-soprano * [[Aprile Millo]] (born 1958), soprano * [[Sherrill Milnes]] (born 1935), baritone * [[James Morris (bass-baritone)|James Morris]] (born 1947), bass-baritone * [[Heidi Grant Murphy]] (born 1965), soprano * [[Anne Sofie von Otter]] (born 1955), mezzo-soprano * Mark Oswald, baritone * [[Paul Plishka]] (born 1941), bass * [[Juan Pons]] (born 1946), baritone * [[Florence Quivar]] (born 1944), mezzo-soprano * Julien Robbins, bass-baritone * [[Roberto Scandiuzzi]] (born 1958), bass * [[Frederica von Stade]] (born 1945), mezzo-soprano * [[Ruth Ann Swenson]] (born 1959), soprano * [[Bryn Terfel]] (born 1965), bass-baritone * [[Dawn Upshaw]] (born 1960), soprano * [[Carol Vaness]] (born 1952), soprano * [[Deborah Voigt]] (born 1960), soprano * [[Wendy White (mezzo-soprano)|Wendy White]] (born 1953), mezzo-soprano * [[Dolora Zajick]] (born 1952), mezzo-soprano * [[Raymond Gniewek]] (1931–2021), concertmaster * Metropolitan Opera Orchestra * Metropolitan Opera Chorus * [[Raymond Hughes (conductor)|Raymond Hughes]], chorus master * [[James Levine]] (1943–2021), conductor<ref name=dvd/> {{Div col end}} ===Metropolitan Opera personnel=== {{Div col|colwidth=20em|rules=yes}} * Gil Wechsler, lighting designer * George Darden, musical preparation * Joan Dornemann, musical preparation * Dennis Giauque, musical preparation * Kemal Khan, musical preparation * Robert Morrison, musical preparation * Kevin Murphy, musical preparation * Richard Woitach, musical preparation * Phebe Berkowitz, stage director * David Kneuss, stage director * Robin Guarino, assistant stage director * Catherine Hazlehurst, assistant stage director * Peter McClintock, assistant stage director * Fabrizio Melano, assistant stage director * Paul Mills, assistant stage director * Stephen Pickover, assistant stage director * Sharon Thomas, assistant stage director * Jane Klaviter, prompter * Donna Racik, prompter * Susan Webb, prompter * [[Thomas H.
