Armida as newly produced by MetOpera was great. This performance really exhibited all that Armida has to offer, and it's odd it isn't more often produced and should be considered a classic. Some issues w/ the particular theater and performance - the video was out of synch and had lines scrolling (hardly high-definition), and sound from adjoining theaters was a constant nuisance.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Show, Poor Production

Went to AMC Gulf Point in Houston, TX. They had some technical issues. Posted start of 7pm. By 7:45, they still hadn't gotten the movie going, and we had seen the first ~10 mins of "pre-show" slides ~ 4 times. Some people left. Don't want to reflect this in show review grade, b/c it's not their fault the theater screwed up. In fairness, the MGR gave us all FREE passes on the way out.
The show itself was great, and I certainly look forward to more RIFFTRAX events. The only downside was the short presence by Wierd Al, which was overhyped in the advertising. Also, w/ all the myriad of Xmas bits out there, the fact that they had 2 non-Xmas clips detracted. Overall it was a great show, though, and I had a great time (once it started).
