The singing and acting was marvelous but the stage setting didn't appeal alltogether to me. I know this was written long ago but I was still disturbed by the way the character of Margarite was treated
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Simon Boccanegra was spectacular; the music, the acting, the voices, etc. I have been attending all of this year's operas Live in HD and find it fascinating to learn so much more than I could if I actually went to the Met.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was a mind-boggling experience. I loved the concept of a planet where everything is so obviously connected that all its inhabitants treat it with respect. I wish I was living on one.
In addition to all the glorious voices, the production was very well directed; revealing the personalities of the performers and how they dealt with the stress. It kept me fully engaged the entire time and was very educational.
By reducing the stage sets and props, the story itself became much more engrossing. The performers, in addition to excellent voices, were amazing actors and I was moved to tears on more than one occasion. I loved the Japanese minamalism and the puppetry just took my breath away.
