Enjoyable & better than MET!

This encore presentation was GREAT fun and very enjoyable! The production quality, both audio and video including especially camera work and direction far surpassed the Carmen encore from the METseen last week! The only flaw was that the encore recording was cut off at the end. The final number wasn't even complete and the audience had to exit in the dark! Garrison's tour of St. Paul prior to the show was really neat too!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!

My wife and I were extremely disappointed in this production of Carmen! It was a poor substitute for live opera. The filming was atrocious! Constantly moving camera work almost made you physically ill. The penchant for extreme close ups was bizarre. You could evaluate make up and costuming but could not truly appreciate the sets, blocking and choeography. SOFT opera which you frequently strain to hear does not serve audience or the performers weil. To have a quality live performance of a beautiful opera with extremely talented performers ruined by absymally poor filming and audio presentation seems criminal!
No, I do not recommend this movie.
