Les Contes D'Hoffmann
PostedJanuary 7, 2010
syria
from Los Angeles, CA
Met's casts are consistently outstanding.
It was exciting to hear new talent and
sad to see established talent go plump.
The overall enjoyment of the production -
music, singing and staging - is limited by
the quick cutting and strange camera angles. One comes to opera to hear foremost and here the visual overwhelmingly dominate.
It's a film editing treatment of a stage production. It interferes with actually hearing. Closeups are fine, as are the intermission interviews. Please find an editor who can do justice to the idea of being in the opera house itself, if only virtually.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
