A fabulous performance, with a single flaw. This is my favorite opera and I have seen a number of different performances, both live and on film. This ranks near the top. The singers rivaled the best I have seen, and I'm talking about Domingo and Sills.
The flaw? Our theater apparently was missing the red gun in its projector, giving the entire opera a dark look that, despite the Kafkaesque theme, was not the intention of the director. But we went for the music, not the color, so I wasn't bothered.
