Messo was outstanding, filming was a downer... I want to see the whole stage and see the other folks reaction/ roles in the action. Best Carmen seen or heard by myself or my mom (78) a couple more Carmens viewed. But again, I have been to the Met and I want to see the whole stage not the nostrils of the performers. Sound problems at the theater were a distraction, sometimes mono, sometimes stereo...
The MET did a great a superlative job. AMC theater 104 and CO 36 did almost everything they could do to ruin the memorable performances. They said it was sold out, 20+ seats remained empty and they turned folks away. Libretto delivered 5 minutes prior to curtain. HD challenges, missed the first and second riddle, very sad. Late on raising the house lights for intermission, both times... I will try this gig again, not sure at this site
