Wonderful opera, terrible audience

I almost thoroughly enjoyed this production, except for the noise generated by loud, excessive popcorn eating next to me. Thinking changing seats was the solution, I wound up next to a gentleman who not only ate pistachios but shelled them, threw them on the floor and then brushed them under the seat in front of him. I didn't dare try changing seats again - I'd probably wind up next to a gum-cracking opera lover.
The popcorn eater replied to a request not to rattle the bag by saying, "This is a movie, not the opera."

Yes, I recommend this movie.

The singing was wonderful, but Anna Netrebko did not seem comfortable in this role. Her usual dramatic sense eluded her this time. The intermission interviews are getting very tedious and forced - better just to have an intermission like at the live opera. That and the fact that the voices are miked are making this movie-opera experience less wonderful , though still worthwhile, as time goes on.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
