Took me identical mint marks to see that the Wagner's "Complete Ring cycle from The Metropolitan Opera" with the golden disc cover (I suppose an evocation of the ring as well as the LDs inside)...

Image
Wagner: Der Ring Des Nibelungen: Metropolitan Opera (1990) [072 522-1]

... was also released separately in 4 covers that re-create the full ring:

Wagner: Das Rheingold: Metropolitan Opera: Levine (1990) [072 518-1]
Wagner: Die Walküre: Metropolitan Opera: Levine (1990) [072 519-1]
Richard Wagner: Siegfried: Metropolitan Opera: Levine (1990) [072 520-1]
Richard Wagner: Götterdämmerung: Metropolitan Opera: Levine (1990) [072 521-1]

Pretty neat!

Most of them do.

PAL LDs used Teletext to get multi-lingual subtitles support -- and avoid pressing a different master for each language!

if they don't have subs then they will have or should have some type of booklet like when you go to an opera in person.

Can't remember which one I went to but they had little subtitle devices at your seats and also gave you a booklet to read page by page.

Most of the opera LDs I have are subbed. Wagner especially will be. They are a mountain of cheap fun if you enjoy classical music. Those ones converted from PAL...look like it, but they are still good.
