fantastic!

As with all the Met productions I've seen in HD, this one did not disappoint. Rossini's music, the staging, everything was up to the usual Met standards. I was disappointed in the attendance, however. Most broadcasts during the season have nearly sold out theatres where I live; this one had perhaps a dozen people. A dozen very enthusiastic and appreciative people, but still only a dozen. I hope this doesn't discourage the theatre from airing future performances.
On a very negative note, much of the performance was ruined for me because the volume was turned so loud that the voices were distorted.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wonderful production. Voices, sets it took just a minute to get used to the puppet Sorrow, then I was hooked. He might as well have been a real child -- and much better behaved than my 2-yr-old grandson! I concur with what others have said about too many close-ups.. The camera would have been better just a bit farther back, and our theatre management should learn that intermission means the lights should come ON!
Minor details. I'll be seeing at least one of the two remaining, and most, if not all of next season. (How come only nine?) What a wonderful idea to bring the Met out of New York to the rest of us opera lovers.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
