Oh that satellite...!

I saw this on Saturday in Hamilton NJ, and once again - as has been the case all season - the satellite feed delivered a too-dark picture. Surely, after all the complaints that have been flooding in since the Fall, this problem can be fixed? Let's hope the Met will have sorted it out by the time the Fall season starts. - Despite this, the production was enchanting: Renee Fleming was astonishingly beautiful, both in herself and in her vocal repertoire, and although I agree there was not much chemistry between her and her lover, this would not have been evident in the stage performance and hardly mattered. My one criticism is that, although the ballet interludes were beautifully choreographed, the camera angles tended to break up the visual impact and make the dancing seem a bit chaotic. The costumes were stunning, the character of Love was utterly charmingly conceived and acted out, and the Garden of Earthly Delights as seductive as it should be. The music, with which I was unfamiliar, was utterly ravishing, and I will get the DVD as soon as it comes out!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
