Before starting my review I have read all the reviews already posted by now. I agree completely with all the positive reviews. The music is beautiful and all the performers did an excellent job. The Met definitely has the best voices and provides them with excellent opportunites to show their talent. I do not agree with some of Ms. Zimmerman approaches, but that is a separate issue.
My main complaint is with the quality of the presentation. I saw this opera in Randolph NJ and could not be more dissapointed. I attended the MetOpera transmissions before and this was definitely the worst of them all. The picture was dark and lacking contrast. It was quite difficult to see details of the stage. I could definitely get a better picture on a 50 year old television set with a worn out CRT. During the intermission I approached the movie house personnel suggesting that they attend to the equipment but there was no improvement during the next act. During the next intermission I spoke to the personnel again and was told the fault was with the transmission. I will try once more to see another opera in another location but if the picture quality will be the same I will rather wait for the rebroadcast on PBS than waste my money.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
