La Scala produced a little known opera by Vivaldi in 2006, which featured bare-breasted Amazons, and American tenor Zachary Stains showing everything he has. He has quite a bit, and he shows it very well:

This is the rather sexy album cover for the complete Mefistofele featuring Treigle, Domingo, and Cabelle.

Indeed he does - however Vivaldi opera isn't my cup of tea...Hmmm..Wagner in the nude? Siegmund pulling Nothung out of the tree? Wotan with his spear? Hagen stabbing Siegfried with his spear?
I'm not a fan of Vivaldi opera, either - my taste runs to Puccini and Verdi.
Oh and Boito as well for me
Thanks to you I now have 3 versions of Mephistopheles (including the Treigle).. Have you tried the Korngold "Tote Stadte" - it's ever so good (esp the Klaus Florian Vogt version on Oehms Classics)
No, never tried Korngold.
Just posted the album cover from the Treigle Mefistofele. There are other Mefistofele albums with equally risque cover art.
