Domingo is amazing, as well as the rest of the cast. Beautiful sets and costumes. I am puzzled that Boccanegra isn't performed regularly -- it's one of Verdi's greatest!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of Met's Best HDD's

Elina Garança was a stupendous Carmen; Barbara Frittoli's Micaëla provided a beautiful contrast to the mezzo "heroine?". Speaking as a musician, I was truly impressed by the woodwind section of the Met orchestra -- such line and shape in their playing! Sequin did a terrific job, as well. A new but compelling addition to the typical Carmen production was the introduction of several beautifully-danced pas de deux, providing an emotional linkage between acts. Stunning performance -- not to be missed!!
