This my first time going to HD opera, and it was a good intro to Opera, i am familiar with the music and the story line and I thought I will give it a try and if I didn't like I only paid $20. It was beautiful but still I am no Opera fan, but i can see myself going again maybe it will grow on me. The music was beautiful and the close-up shots were amazing, you can see the details of their costumes and hair do. I enjoyed the commentary and the interviews during intermissions, loved a little ballet dance. Highly recommended.
