Kathleen Battle - O Luce di Quest'anima (Ah Tardai Troppo) In september 1991 the Metropolitan Opera celebrated it's 25th anniversary at Lincoln Center by performing three different acts from a selection of popular Met productions. In the final act (act II of Die Fledermaus) there were some special guest performances by highly renowned opera stars. One of the guests was Kathleen Battle. She sung "Ah Tardai Troppo O Luce di Quest'anima" from Donizetti's opera "Linda di Chamounix". James Levine is conducting. The idea behind these clips was to provide a High Quality version of these aria's on YouTube. Unfortunately the YT encoding creates an artificial noise in the peaks. I hope you still can enjoy this. The Source for this video was a DG laserdisc. The release on DVD is planned on May 3rd 2010. Yeah it's spelled grammophon... Who can spell that without an error?

Classic Game Room HD reviews HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 AND 3 RETURN for Nintendo Wii! This Wii game has 2 Sega arcade shooting games on one disc, awesome! Blast zombies and the undead with your Wii controller tucked into plastic firearms and send them flying through the air in pieces. Awesome voice acting, campy writing and fantastic on-rails shooting action make this game a must play for the Nintendo Wii. Play with one or two guns (or just use the Wii controller, you don't need a "gun" accessory). CGR is playing with the Komodo Buckshot Lock and Load shotgun for Wii, player 2 is using the Wii Zapper. Zombies are blown into red and green chunks and scores are earned, arcade action at its finest! Pick this game up for a very affordable price and enjoy nearly unlimited replay value, arcade modes, original modes and boss modes. This CGR review of House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return for Wii has gameplay from House of the Dead by Sega showing this shooting gun game on the Wii in action. Does not use light guns, but instead uses the Wii sensor bar to work like a light gun. Dope!
