Enough to put one off ever seeing LiveMet again

Even if there were NOT inexcusable technical problems, Ramey and Poplavskaya were the only singers with an ounce of acting ability or stage presence (Giordani was DOA) - an issue rather compounded in close up camera shots. We burst out laughing when Turandot rose up from behind the fussy noisy set like a cross between Fosca in Sondheim's Passion and a Vallium addicted Buddha. I get the concept that it's "all about the voice" in opera, but this challenges suspending disbelief beyond the breaking point. Thankfully the theatre manager refunded our money without question. I would encourage ALL consumers who payed for this technical nightmare to seek refunds - maybe the Met will wake up.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
