About this product
The Ultimate Opera Collection is a single-CD compilation issued on the Erato label in 1992 under catalogue number 2292 45797-2, carrying 18 opera arias and ensembles with a total running time of 74:18.[3][4] The album is credited to Placido Domingo, José Carreras, Kiri Te Kanawa and Montserrat Caballé, and the programme also features Janet Baker, Marilyn Horne, Frederica von Stade, Barbara Hendricks, Ruggero Raimondi and Sumi Jo in music by Verdi, Bizet, Puccini, Handel, Mozart, Gounod and others.[3] Warner Classics UK holds the ℗ and ©, and the European disc was pressed by Warner Music Manufacturing Europe at Alsdorf.[3]
Discogs records a second pressing with the same barcode, glass-mastered by Cinram in June 1993 under catalogue number CD 45797, alongside a cassette edition and Canadian and Japanese issues of the same compilation.[5][6] The disc was still offered new and second-hand at UK and US retailers in September 2026.[1][7][2]
